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

After a very successful season in 2024, the Maynard Jackson Jaguars look to continue their winning ways with a strong senior and junior class that include some top-end talent in the region. Leading the way for this year’s Jaguars squad is Tyler Dunn who has been continuing to impress as a defensive player and at the dish, a smart and decisive decision maker that will be a fun one to watch this spring. Other leaders from this senior class are Seth Geter and Aric Dean, both looking to add to their high school campaigns with strong showings at the dish this season. A strong two-way player, Charlie Schrope, showed his abilities on the mound over the summer and even his range in the infield at SS is another top player for this year’s Jaguars squad; another top junior, Leon Alford looks to add experience and maturity to the outfield, and also a strong bat in this line-up. For the 2027 grads, SS Maceo White was a star that emerged over this past summer while playing at LakePoint, showcasing his phenomenal bat-path technique to the opposite field, a sheer weapon to have on the bases, a true speedster with a wide range and arm accuracy in the infield as well. Another top junior for this Maynard Jackson team, OF Pearce Henry who continues to flash the range in the outfield with an accurate arm, and bounce in his feet, will be a fun one to watch as the season continues. A handful of freshmen also look to do some damage in this already stacked batting line-up, C Thornton Wilder and 3B Ethan Jones, both look to contribute their talents and will be fun to see their maturity as it gets later in the season. With a roster this talented, this is a team that looks to strive for greater results than their unfortunate demise from a year ago. This team has talent and depth at every position and bats that can get hot at any moment. It will be hard to contain a team of this caliber for long, very much looking forward to watching them in 2025.
