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

This year's Union Grove squad looks to pick up right where they left off, as the hopes to capture a state title are still very much in grasp. Freshman OF sensation, Isaiah Cador, is a tool-shed with speed, range, and maturity at the plate that resembles a young Michael Bourn, looking to crack the starting line-up and make a strong impression this season. The senior class for the Wolverines is heavy with some strong bats in the line-up. Seniors Logan Mortimer, TJ Jones, and Kane Moye are all aggressive at the plate with heft in the barrel that generate carry and consistent hard contact. Sophomore RHP Colton Burch looks to build off his strong showing this fall and gain more confidence in his off-speed pitches; he will be a guy to watch in this 2027 class. Experience on the mound seems to be another strength for this talented Wolverines unit, seniors Maddux Earls, and Aidan Kelley who are both coming off commitments to Gordon State look to add to their campaign in their final season. Junior C/MIF Dylan Davis will be another top name to know for this junior class as he is a returning starter that shows much experience in the infield and more importantly behind the dish, shows the ability to block well with excellent footwork. The ceiling is very high for this Union Grove team as they have returning guys at over half the positions in their lineup. Going to be a fun team to watch as they gain momentum into the late season and playoffs.
