The Missouri high school baseball season kicks off on Mar. 20, opening day for regular season action under MSHSAA 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 Missouri Preseason Power 25 Rankings.

Coach’s Insight: “This teams #1 strength is its faith, culture, and love for each other. This group is a bunch of high character kids with great faith in Christ and each other. They have played a lot of baseball with each other which leads to trust! We will continue to pray for health on the mound because this team can have a pretty special rotation and bullpen. Our team will continue to grind everyday defensively to improve across the board.” – Dave Stewart, head coach
