2025 Georgia Preview: Carrollton Trojans
January 17, 2025
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 Trojans return their entire pitching staff with an impact power/speed threat anchoring a high-upside lineup, and come more than prepared to improve on their first round exit in 2024. Across the outfield, Carrollton has impact at each position with uncommitted juniors Kaleb Binion and Evan Moody in the corners providing the thump with all-fields power, and senior CF Maddox Monsour brings the same pop while pairing it with 6.5 speed that allows for constant pressure on the base paths. Senior CIF Landon Eubanks returns after a 2nd-team all-state junior season to provide the veteran leadership in the infield as well as providing a consistent bat that offers both power and bat-to-ball. Up-the-middle, 2nd-team all-region junior SS Dylan Bishop and sophomore 2B/LHP Caleb Hudson are likely to make up one of the highest upside duos in the area with Hudson also to chip in other facets including as a weapon in both the rotation and bullpen. Another important two-way asset for this squad is uncommitted senior RHP/3B John Cobb, who slots in as SP1 and at the hot corner while looking to go three straight years as an all-region player for the Trojans. Uncommitted junior RHPs Caden Opperman and Connor Dailey will likely find themselves in the rotation as well after earning great experience as sophomores and could be in-line for a bigger jump this spring. Sophomore C/RHP Gunner Fokken could have a path to quality playing time this spring, offering a high ceiling with the stick and advanced blocking/receiving for the class. Fokken also has a chance to be a part of a deep bullpen that features high-leverage arms like Hudson and junior LHP Andrew Rambo, among others. This might be a smaller senior class for Carrollton but this is an experienced club that will find ways to win and will be vying hard for their first region title since ‘20-’21.
