The Illinois high school baseball season kicked off on March 11, opening day for regular season action under IHSA regulations. Since then, we’ve published our team previews ahead of the 2024 spring season, touching on programs spanning all state classifications, counting down through the official Prep Baseball Illinois Preseason Power 25 Rankings.

Perennially, we’ve submitted a preseason questionnaire to high school head coaches across the entire state. Their responses have been flooding in and we’re using the detailed insight they’ve provided in our team-by-team preseason analysis.

Today, we’re taking a look at some of the Teams to Watch in 2024:

2023 Record (Finish): 24-14 (Regional Champs) (Lost in City Semi's to Kenwood 4-3 in eight innings).
