2025 Georgia Team Preview: East Coweta Indians
December 23, 2024
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 regions champs from 2024 will look to defend their title in 2025. As for the 2025 team, well they have nearly all their position players returning which will be a huge piece in efforts to repeat. Putting together a consistent defense is one of the toughest parts of high school baseball. On top of having their defense back they will return half of their innings pitched with Logan Wynn, Kade Corbitt and Lathan Gibby leading the way. They will have their short stop, Chance Izzo returning. Izzo is a spark plug type player that can get a team to rally around him with his energy. He has been a staple in the line up the last couple of years. Fellow seniors Conor Goltermann and CJ Rivera will follow him up in the line up. Goltermann is a strong bodied 1st baseman that will be one of their power bats in the line up. Juniors Logan Bence and Lathan Gibby will be their strong holds in the outfield this season. Sophomore Jakob Gonzalez will be a huge piece this year. Gonzalez is a versatile defender that could play any position on the field. He will be a strong bat in the line up, and could be a candidate for a breakout season. Hunter Bedenbaugh, Jax Bowles, and Ayden Andrade will be a trio of sophomores that could also see considerable time this season. Bedenbaugh is a dynamic outfielder that could really play a big role in the OF. The Indians will look to square off against Carrollton in their new region, which should be one of the biggest series of the year.
