February 28, 2025
The Oklahoma high school baseball season kicks off on Feb. 24 for classes A and B and Mar. 1 for classes 2A-6A, opening day for regular season action under OSSAA 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 Oklahoma 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: “This year we will rely on pitching and defense. A strong core group of leaders on our pitching staff will keep us in any ball game. Offensively, we will look to use our team speed and athleticism to create chaos on the base paths to manufacture runs. We will look young some games with a lack of experience position player wise but we believe our young guys will step up. ” – Shannon Dobson, head coach
