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: “We have a lot of experienced players who have played a lot of baseball. We lost a couple of big arms but return several pitchers who have thrown a lot of innings. We have added two really good baseball coaches to our staff, former professional and division 1 players Brandon Green and Spencer Henson. They have already made a great impact on our kids. ” – Matt Simmons , head coach
