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 expectations are extremely high this spring for a strong Rams squad. Chris Guillory is coming off a strong summer campaign on the mound with strong starts running it up to 88 while flashing the off-speed with a consistent change-up and curveball combination. The pitching rotation continues with seniors Kris Ross and Jeremiah Francis and junior Josh Brown that really hold a staple in this Rams rotation. Kendall Turner flashing his abilities as a young sophomore, looking to expand in the middle infield with more experience and continuing to flash the range and glovework among one of the top SS in the region for this 2027 grad class. Senior OF Caden Brown looks to emerge as another strong bat in the lineup with a speedy 60-time, showing a wide range in the OF with a cannon for an arm. Another high quality name for the Rams OF is Junior Robert 38 Jackson III, flashed the tools at the dish as well as in the field with twitchy and quick feet with a sub 6.5 second 60-time. This Rams lineup has a very high ceiling with a pitching rotation with this much experience. They will be a fun team to watch when the offensive and defensive sides of the ball continue to play complimentary baseball. This team could get hot very quick and at any given time in the lineup.
