Prep Baseball Georgia
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 Patriots had a strong season in 2024, finishing with a record of 21-14 and making it to the Final 4 of the 4A GIAA playoffs. Poised to make another deep run backed on the heels of an experienced pitching staff, including three seniors leading the charge in the rotation. Headlined by Senior LHP and 2024 Region pitcher of the year Brooks Bibby. The southpaw remains a top uncommitted name and looks to eat key innings as the SP1 of the staff. Rounding out the rest of the rotation is a pair of two-way seniors, Blake Burghardt and Jackson Glenn. Burghardt has been on the rise at the plate over the course of the last year and looks to pair nicely with Glenn. Yielding the Patriots with a pair of strong senior bats. Upper Class two-ways 2025 Will Styers, 2025 Andrew Reid, and 2026 Blake Hahn will give depth and experience to the line-up and bullpen. Sophomore OF and 2023 Junior Future Gamer, Blake Chupp, could have a breakout 2025 season. Chupp, a lean 6-foot-1, 180-pounds, possesses the perfect blend of hit/power that will be a vital part in the middle of the Patriots line-up. 2027 INF Brody Spann at 6-foot, 170-pounds, has excellent bat-to-ball skills that will stick anywhere in the lineup. Spann has plenty of upside remaining as he continues to add size/strength. The Sophomore will also look to supply depth to the bullpen. Incoming Freshman Todd “T” Raleigh will look to make an impact from day one both at the plate and behind the plate. The LHH at 6-foot-1, 185-pounds, showcases present barrel accuracy with leverage throughout and real impact out front. With the makeup and MLB bloodlines, Raleigh has all the makings to be a must know name in the state for the next four years. The Patriots have their eyes set on making another deep run in the playoffs, putting forth a strong senior class leading the way for a compelling underclass group.
