2025 KSHSAA Team Preview: Baldwin Bulldogs
March 5, 2025
The Kansas high school baseball season kicks off on Mar. 20, opening day for regular season action under KSHSAA regulations. Leading up to opening day, we’ll be publishing our team previews ahead of the 2025 spring season, touching on programs spanning all state classifications, counting down to the official Prep Baseball Kansas 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.

Coach’s Insight: “We scored a lot of runs last year and return seven starting position players, so we hope to be able to manufacture plenty of runs this year as well. Pitching and defense will need to be improved for us to take a big step forward this year. Baldwin hasn't had a winning season or double digit wins since 2015, so the goal is to improve on the mound and in the field to work towards breaking those streaks this Spring. ” – Grant Bachura, head coach
