Prep Baseball Tennessee Staff

The 2025 Tennessee 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 across Tennessee.

Teams across the state have goals and aspirations to finish their seasons in Murfreesboro at the state tournament championships – 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 across Tennessee. We will take you right up to first pitch this season with these team previews, eventually releasing our Preseason Power 25 rankings that’ll carry us into the opening week of action.

2025 OUTLOOK

+ Unicoi County High comes off a season where they took a step back going 11-18 with a very young team after having 3 straight winning seasons from 2021-2023. But there is a lot of optimism in the program as Unicoi brings back 8 starters along with 4 pitchers. Unicoi brings back two big impact players in 2026 Kolby Jones and 2027 Reid Bogart. Kolby Jones will once again main the shortstop position and should be the #1 arm on the mound. Kolby comes off a sophomore season where he dealt with a hand injury but was a dominant force on the mound by the end of the season. Kolby has put a lot of work in the weight room in the offseason that should translate in the spring. Reid Bogart will be the starting catcher for Unicoi. He remained the backstop last year as a freshman where he locked up the position and was also one of the better bats in the lineup. With so many returners, Unicoi has a chance to make some noise in one of the toughest districts in 3A baseball in the state.
