At The Yard Podcast: New Episode LIVE now!

The 2025 California high school baseball season is quickly approaching and, as usual, excitement is abound throughout the state. Players and coaches have been working in preparation for the upcoming season and, as is the case each year, there are some very talented players and teams across California.

Teams across the state have goals and aspirations to finish their seasons in their respective CIF Section Championship Game, but there is plenty of work to be done before that becomes reality. We hope to familiarize our readers with many of the teams across the state as we preview these individual programs across California. We will take you right up to first pitch this season with these team previews, eventually releasing our Preseason Power 25 rankings.

Please keep checking back throughout the season as we will be your one-stop shop for everything related to high school baseball across California. Each week we will be releasing our Power 25, Players of the Week, Diamond Notes, podcasts, and much more.

Our 2025 preseason coverage continues today with a preview of the Madison Warhawks.

BOTTOM LINE

With some youthful talent on the rise to bolster a solid group of upperclassmen the Warhawks will rely on their pitching staff and ability to produce runs on the offensive side of the game to be successful in 2025.

PREP BASEBALL CA STAFF’S TAKE

Madison enters the season with a balanced mix of experienced upperclassmen and ambitious underclassmen looking to break into the team. Having seen them during MLK weekend, there is promise in the pitching rotation with Jennings and Gallagher, who both showed well against a strong Huntington Beach lineup. The experienced elements of their lineup will be key to the offensive capability.
