2025 OSSAA Team Preview: Sapulpa Chieftains
January 27, 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: “We love the grit of our team. We may be a little undersized in spots but our guys will find a way and continue to compete day in and day out. We’re relying on some young guys to take their next step and moving up in classes we know it will be a challenge. ” – Steven Irvine, head coach
