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 Thousand Oaks Lancers.

BOTTOM LINE
Our squad has an interesting blend of ability from the Sr. and Jr. class that is hungry to break through and challenge at the top of the Marmonte League and the playoffs. We some really quality arms on the mound which I'm excited for and how that can help us win some games. We did lose some experience off of last years team, but our position player group should be pretty strong. The Marmonte League is always deep and talented so we will have to play our best baseball to be successful in 2025. - Coach Cronenbold
PREP BASEBALL CA STAFF’S TAKE
The Lancers will be under the direction of first year head coach Hayden Cronenbold who is an alumni of the TO program who is excited about the group he has for 2025. The strength of the Lancers will come down to how well their pitching staff rounds out behind talented '26 Jameson Berigan who is up to the low 90's with a 4 pitch mix if arms like Albrecht and others can perform at a high level in spring they have the potential to make some noise in the Marmonte League. Their lineup will feature solid athleticism with the ability to create some chaos on the bases from the likes of Tetzlaff, Holt and Atkins while adding some power potential from Berigan, Magruder and others. Winning in the Marmonte League is never an easy thing as all of the programs boast talent and good coaching so the Lancers taking steps forward will not come easy, but they have a solid group in 2025 that could make some strides to return them towards the top of the league. - Assistant Scouting Director Steven Hardesty
