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

Benedictine had success in 2024 winning 20 games and making a solid playoff run before running into the eventual state champions in Starr’s Mill, but Coach Jason Pascual and the Cadets could be poised for even more this spring with some of the best returning pitching depth in all of 4A Georgia baseball. Senior RHP/OF Landon Ludwig is the spark plug that jump starts this squad on both sides. The Davidson commit is coming off a huge junior season (1.07 ERA, 90 K in 52.1IP; .412 AVG, 13 XBH) as well as standing out on the summer circuit with the explosive low-90s fastball. RHPs Jackson Austin and Brooks Bradshaw round out a starting rotation of committed seniors who all have earned valuable experience both in the region and the playoffs that gives Coach Pascual a ton of confidence heading into 2025. Senior RHP TJ Windsor is another committed senior on the staff while giving the Cadets a bonafide leader in a deep, talented bullpen that features juniors LHP Mason O’Neil and RHP Calvin Proto, and more. The infield for Benedictine has an impressive blend of experience and upside that’s best shown up the middle with senior SS Joseph Garner bringing an impressive glove and leadership, while 2B Omari Burse could have one of the highest upsides on the team as well as being one of the top returning bats after hitting .349 and over 2:1 BB:K ratio as a freshman. Juniors 3B Bennett Conaway and 1B Mason O’Neil will man the corners with present thump and ability to down the middle of the order. The veteran bats continue with the last committed senior for the Cadets in DH Jack Murphy as well as Mason Diamond, the junior backstop who really grew as a sophomore and could have a path to breaking out this spring. Ludwig will be a likely resident in RF with junior Jadon Muller looking to breakout further in LF after hitting .379 in a partial role last year and sophomore Joiner Uhrich could emerge as a legit candidate to lock down CF and give Benedictine even more upside in the lineup. The 13-time region champions have the pieces to make another into May this spring and will be one the watch in the class.
