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 Morse Tigers.

ROSTER PREVIEW

The starting catcher for the Tigers was a standout in his first season as the full-time starter. Aguigui hit .355 with 9 XBH with 26 RBIs as a top bat in the lineup.

Davison was a dual threat for the Tigers in 2024. He pitched 42 innings, striking out 52 with a 3.83 ERA and hit .344 in 61 ABs. He returns for his junior year as the presumptive ace in the rotation.

IMPACT UNDERCLASSMEN
+ '27 Rey Hernandez
Hernandez had a small sample size in 2024, splitting time on varsity and JV but performed well in his limited playing time. On the mound, he pitched to a 2.74 ERA in 15.1 innings. He has a chance to carve a starting role this year for the Tigers.
+ '27 CJ Booker
+ '27 Christian Hernandez
+ '27 Angel Salamanca
+ '28 Tommy Killingsworth
BOTTOM LINE
We made a good run during the 2024 season and lost some key pieces off that team to graduation. With a blend of older players and younger players looking to be keys to our success I like the squad we bring into 2025. Our pitching staff is solid with plenty of depth in the bullpen. Add in a solid lineup with depth from top to bottom that is going to play solid defense we are in good position for a strong 2025 season - Coach Booker
PREP BASEBALL CA STAFF’S TAKE
Morse has a group of experienced players as well as underclassmen looking to fill in vacancies following the departure of key seniors. While there aren't full sample sizes, Coach Booker made sure to get underclassmen small slices of experience last year that will be valuable to them this year.
