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 Pacifica Tritons (Oxnard).

BOTTOM LINE
We grew up a lot in 2024 with a younger roster that saw plenty of Fr. and Soph. players get significant playing time in key spots throughout the lineup and on the mound we continued to get better throughout the year and hit our stride in the playoffs to make a pair of deep runs and bring home a ring by winning the CIF-South Regional D3 title.
PREP BASEBALL CA STAFF’S TAKE
Pacifica on paper last year looked like a team that was a year away from really reaching their potential with so many younger players getting significant playing time, but Coach Bryan Wilson did a fantastic job of preparing those players for their opportunities on varsity so they could perform immediately. When I got my first live look at them in March I came away very impressed, but then going back to see them later in Spring the growth into a D5 semifinal team and South Regional D3 championship team was apparent. Now with the likes of ace Alex Villicana, LHH power bat and LH starting pitcher Devon Wilkes, up the middle defenders with hit ability in Bobby Ramirez, Byron Cibrian and Riley Ortega and the continued improvement of players like Reyes, Carmona and Lualemana the Tritons won't sneak up on anybody in 2025, but are well positioned to make another strong run facing every teams best shot. - Steven Hardesty Assistant Scouting Director
