Prep Baseball Report

2025 Program Previews: Durango Trailblazers


Brett Harrison
West Coast Supervisor

The 2025 Nevada High School baseball season is quickly approaching and, as usual, excitement is abound throughout the state. Players and coaches have been working in preparation for the upcoming season and, as is the case each year, there are some very talented players and teams throughout the Silver State.

Teams across the state have goals and aspirations to finish their seasons by raising the 2025 NIAA State Championship trophy, but there is plenty of work to be done before that becomes reality. We hope to familiarize our readers with many of the teams across the state as we preview individual teams throughout Nevada and will take you right up to first pitch this season with these team previews, eventually releasing our Preseason Top 10 Rankings that’ll carry us into the opening week of action.

Please keep checking back throughout the season as we will be your one-stop shop for everything related to high school baseball across the state. Each week we will be releasing our Players of the Week and updating the Top 10 Rankings.

TEAM OUTLOOK

The reigning Class 4A State Champions have their sights set to run it back in 2025 with their core roster returning this Spring. Lead by University of Oklahoma signee and 2024 Prep Baseball ProCase standout, Alexander Mercurius, the two way consistently set the tone on both sides of the ball and repeatedly had his number called in both big game and big moments. You can expect this again this upcoming Spring with a more polished mix and his fastball projected to run up into the upper 90's. 

Filling out the rest of the Blazer's core is a trio of Uncommitted seniors in Jayden Shuford, Teagan Payne and Carson Crosby along with standout sophomore Aiden Farrell. These four had their breakout Springs in 2024 and with an additional year plus State Championship experience, this group is primed for another big season.
