2025 Georgia Preview: Glynn Academy Red Terrors
January 20, 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.

TEAM OUTLOOK
After a Sweet Sixteen bid last year, the Red Terrors return one of the top players in the 2026 class and a deep pitching staff looking to surpass that mark from last year. Headlining the club is Junior SS/OF Wessley Roberson, a tool-shed of an athlete and the number 12th ranked player in the state for the 2026 class. Bringing an electric hit/speed combo on offense as well as anchoring the defense with elite range, and plus arm strength whether that be in center or at short. Additionally, supplying depth to the rotation. Manning the hot corner is 2026 two-way Nico Muñoz. The 6-foot-3, 175-pound junior will be one to watch as he has a chance to be a big arm in the rotation. The projection is clear to see for Muñoz on the mound deploying an effortless operation with a fastball that sits in the upper 80's, which could very easily tick up come this Spring. Jackson Donovan, a junior catcher, supplies a solid hit/power combo that will stick anywhere in the line-up. Donovan also profiles as a strong defender behind the plate and will look to direct a deep pitching staff in 2025. Wyatt Kolkmeyer looks to provide senior leadership and depth along the outfield defense and line-up. Two Sophomore left-handed bats Kai Orr and Luke Parrish could both have breakout seasons. They hold good projection at the plate with impressive bat-to-ball skills. Orr also looks to make an impact on the mound. The Red Terrors return a deep pitching staff going into 2025. Senior LHP Jeb Carson returns after earning second team all-region pitching honors last year. Jim Young will bolster the plethora of options in the bullpen and provide depth. Carson Ritola, a power arm from the left-side, returns as the top option in the bullpen. Glynn Academy is a well-coached and well-rounded group that will be one to watch compete for a region title in a strong 9-5A region.
