The Kansas high school baseball season kicks off on March 19, opening day for regular season action under KSHSAA regulations. Leading up to opening day, we’ll be publishing our team previews ahead of the 2024 spring season, touching on programs spanning all state classifications, counting down through 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 2024 preseason coverage continues today.

Coach’s Insight:

“We have 13 Seniors with many of them playing multiple years of Varsity. We return 7 pitchers with significant varsity experience. We have a lot of arms on our squad that can compete at the 3A Varsity level. Our starting catcher graduated after starting 3 years so that will be a hole we will look to fill. We lost a couple of bats out of the lineup to graduation that have been consistent for us the past few years. ” – Curtis Hamilton , head coach
