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.

Our 2025 preseason coverage continues today.

Coach’s Insight: “The Greenback strengths this year have to do with experience. Getting though the Region and having a good state run last year has given them that coveted state experience and desire to be back. I would say another big strength would be senior leadership again this year. The weaknesses of the Greenbacks has to do with replacing a good senior class from the year before. We have a good core, but some players that did not get much experience the year before will have to step up and perform at a high level. ” – Ron Hill, head coach
