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.

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: “Our strength will be with our two top starters. As those guys go, we will. This will also be the fastest team in my 3 years as head coach. We will use that speed on defensive and offense. Our biggest weakness will be our lack of overall Varsity experience for some guys. As always, we have a big senior group who have all waited their turn for their chance to be a varsity player. As the year progresses we will get the experience we need due to our difficult schedule. We hope that we can work out that inexperience early and grow as a team.” – Andrew Doennig, head coach
