2025 Georgia Preview: Callaway Cavaliers


Prep Baseball Georgia
Staff

The 2025 high school baseball season is quickly approaching and as usual, excitement abounds 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 the GHSA or GIAA state playoffs, 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 individual teams across Georgia. We will take you right up to first pitch this season with these team previews and by continuing our scheduled podcasts and releasing our preseason top-10 rankings in each GHSA classification and Power 25.

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, updating the top-10 ranks in each GHSA classification, as well updating our Power 25 overall rankings. One thing, especially, you don’t want to miss are our scheduled podcasts with guests from across the state, as well as the recaps and previews of the big games we’re covering.

*Please note the information has been gathered from head coaches across the state, based on their replies to the questionnaire we distributed over this offseason.

TEAM OUTLOOK

The Cavaliers had a strong season in 2024, only losing 8 games. We were able to see them during a pivotal region match up against Redan, and they squared off in a really competitive double header. They should have much of the same success with 7 of 9 position players returning. Senior LaShun Gates will lead the way. He hit .320 last season and scored 34 runs, so Coach Hubbard will look for him to be the leader in the club house once again. The Cavaliers have a strong junior class led by Blake Harrington. He just finished leading the football team to a deep playoff run as QB1, and will look to do the same for baseball. He will be their ace on the mound alongside juniors Wesley Williams and Slade Hunt. Junior Luke Taylor will be a key piece back in the line up after missing most of his sophomore year with an injury. He was hitting .355 before his injury last season. It looks like the Cavaliers have all the right pieces to get back to the playoffs in 2025 and fight for a region title.
