2025 South Dakota High School Team Preview: Yankton
March 27, 2025
Prep Baseball Dakotas strives to be the most comprehensive source of player information across North and South Dakota. Prep Baseball is the number one resource for high school baseball in each state that we cover through various events, boots-on-the-ground scouting staff, daily coverage, and multimedia platforms. Our multimedia platforms and events work together, creating each state's most potent high school baseball promotion source. While other organizations take a national approach, our goal is to become the authoritative voice on the ground level of each state.
As we prepare for the upcoming 2025 high school season, we will be taking a preseason glimpse at programs from around the state of South Dakota.
