The 2025 Texas 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 Texas.
Teams across the state have goals and aspirations to finish their seasons in Austin at the UIL State Tournament in June, 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 Texas. We will take you right up to first pitch this season with these team previews, eventually releasing our Preseason Power 30 rankings that’ll carry us into the opening week of action.

TEAM OUTLOOK
Head Coach Jason Tyner and the Kelly Catholic Bulldogs are poised for another strong season following an impressive 2024 campaign that saw them finish 28-6 and advance to the state semi-finals. The team’s core strength lies in its youthful energy and athleticism, setting the stage for dynamic play on both sides of the ball. With a roster full of talented returners and promising newcomers, the Bulldogs are primed to compete for a State Title once again.
The pitching staff looks particularly deep, anchored by returning standouts like RHP Jude Mondello and RHP Carter Mouton, both 2025 graduates who earned Honorable Mention All-District honors last season. They are joined by versatile RHP/3B Jack Hutchison and other two-way threats like RHP/INF Jared Moulder and MIF/RHP Jackson Jones, promising both consistency and flexibility on the mound and in the infield. OF/LHP Cade Berry (2027) and RHP Quintin Oxford (2026) bring additional strength to the rotation, with Oxford already earning Second Team All-District accolades in 2024.
Offensively, Kelly Catholic will rely on the bat and leadership of MIF Michael Phelan (2025) as well as rising stars like OF/1B Sam Bevilacqua and C Harrison Williams, both of whom earned district honors in 2024 despite their youth. Top newcomers, including RHP/MIF Casen Reedy (2027), and freshmen talents like Reid Tyner and Lathan Weaver, round out a well-balanced and athletic lineup. With a mix of seasoned returners and an exciting influx of new talent, the Bulldogs have the depth and potential to build on their 2024 success and aim for a deeper playoff run in 2025.
