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

Despite losing two-thirds of their back-to-back state championship lineup as well as some key pitching, Coach Ryan Page and the Vikings still bring a strong nucleus in their quest for a three-peat in a brand-new region. It starts at the top of the lineup for Lowndes with three returning committed bats that will almost certainly pace the offense throughout the spring. Senior OF Coleman Lewis is one of the most physically strong players in the class with legit all-fields power that can put balls out of any park in the state. A pair of juniors in SS Cason Fletcher and OF Matthew Kerrigan played big roles in winning a ring last year as underclassmen and could be poised for more growth this year after showing really well in the fall. The last committed bat in the lineup is senior Garrett Moon will be manning the hot corner now as well as filling a huge role in the rotation. Junior 1B Derrick Carter hit very well in the summer and will offer some big juice at first alongside sophomore Dawkins Parker, who had a good showing at underclass Preseason All-State and could be in-line for a role at the keystone. Senior Noah Burnham who transferred in from Florida, could be a glue guy for this squad with a high-level defensive profile and solid bat-to-ball skills. Pitching depth will be tested for the Vikings but two seniors will lead the rotation with quality experience in Moon and RHP Drew Inman, who was a big factor down the stretch last year. Uncommitted junior RHP Easton Blanton is an arm to watch for Lowndes with a highly projectable frame and budding power stuff to earn big innings this spring. The schedule will be tough and trial by fire will be real, but the pieces are there for Lowndes to make that late May run once again.
