PBR Kansas POWER 25

The Kansas high school baseball season kicked off on March 17th, opening day for regular season action under KSHSAA regulations. Leading up to opening day, we published our team previews ahead of and during the beginning of the 2024 spring season, touching on programs spanning all state classifications, leading into the official PBR Kansas Preseason Power 25 Rankings.

While much of the initial lists are weighted on previous performances, prospects, and projections, updates will be inherently tied to the production on the field. Simply put: wins, level of competition, and prospects matter. A human element to the list will still provide important information on the nuances and intricacies that the season bestows. Whether it is a close loss in a rivalry game, a five-game in three days gauntlet, or a bout of sickness that depletes a lineup, you can count on PBR to critically examine the playing field at all times.

Following Opening Day, our scouts will be out and about covering the 2024 season and will be publishing scout notes and additional in-season content along the way, like Power 25 updates, Diamond Notes, Scout Blogs, and Player of the Week awards.

+ Olathe East moves into the No. 1 spots as they maintian their undefeated record. Their biggest tests of the season comes up this week, so it will be exciting to see if they can hold up. 

+ Olathe West moves to No.2 as they also remain undefeated. The Owls have been getting steady impressive pitching preformaces and only allowed one run in three games last week. 

+ Shawnee Mission North continues to exceed expectations and enter our rankings after a 7-1 start and some quality wins now on their resume. 

+ Andover Central jumps into the rankings for the first time as they stay undefeated at 9-0. They have not played the toughed schedule yet, but winners win.
