Prep Baseball Georgia Staff

The 2024 Georgia 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 Georgia.

Teams across the state have goals and aspirations to finish their seasons in mid-May inside one of Coolray Field, AdventHealth Stadium, or JI Clements Stadium at Georgia Southern University. We hope to familiarize our readers with many of the teams across the state as we preview individual teams across Georgia. We will take you right up to first pitch this season with these team previews, eventually releasing our Preseason Power 25 rankings that’ll carry us into the opening week of action.

Please keep checking back throughout the season as we will be your one-stop shop for everything related to high school baseball across the state. Each week we will be releasing our Players of the Week and updating the Power 25 rankings.

TEAM OUTLOOK

  • The Douglas County Tigers come off of a 10-16 record in 2023. The 2024 Tigers will be an inexperienced team with a small Senior class. Coach Farmer will lean to Senior Tre Relliford (Mississippi Valley State Commit) to lead this team and put up big numbers in 2024. Relliford will also help lead this young pitching staff as the catcher for the Tigers. Juniors, James Johnson, and Jaden Strong will look to lead the pitching staff at the top of the starting rotation. Another Junior, Brice Porter will play a key role in the OF and also be relied on to produce offensively. Sophomore, Nayland Patton will look to produce for the tigers at 1B and have quality at-bats at the plate. Douglas County will open up the 2024 campaign against Mt. Bethel Christian Academy on 2/12.
