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 Roseville Tigers.

BOTTOM LINE
We put together a strong season in 2024, but did not quite do enough in league play to earn a CIF-SJS playoff berth. But, this years squad has talent from the underclass level and upperclass level that all combined makes for a very interesting team. We are going to play sound defense throughout the spring and with the talent we boast on the mound I like our chances to make a step forward. - Coach Garcia
PREP BASEBALL CA STAFF’S TAKE
The Roseville Tigers are coming off a strong year as the Garcia Brothers put a mark in the Roseville area. They changed the culture of that program and I'm really excited to see how this team performs over the next couple years. The Senior Spotlight is on Kyle Petterson who is a UC Davis commit and should hold down the offense for the Tigers and be the Captain behind the dish. On the mound I really like the duo of 26' Tyler Ritter and the lengthy 6'5 sophomore Ethan Gustus, who have both been 90mph plus this past summer/fall. Cyrus Young should have a solid senior season and hopefully lead that senior class to a ring. I've seen Ben Jordan another good young player to watch that will likely have a 4 year varsity career here. The pitching is there it's going to be a question of the offense and the run production. Expect a tough game everytime you play these guys.
