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
Under Head Coach Chuck Wells, the Timber Creek Falcons aim to build on a strong 2024 campaign that saw them crowned District Champions and advance to the Bi-District round of the playoffs with a 19-14-1 record. With a deep returning core and promising new talent, the team is poised for another competitive season. Timber Creek’s experienced pitching staff, led by RHP Cayden Sowden (2025, Pratt CC) and supported by RHPs Colton Thorpe, Gunner Long, and Austin Wylie, is expected to anchor the Falcons' success. This seasoned rotation, combined with a versatile and capable infield, gives the team a balanced foundation to challenge for district supremacy once again.
Offensively, the Falcons return several key contributors, including INF Chance Bedford (Pratt CC), 1B Talan Sullivan (Mountain View CC), and C Jackson Bass, a 2026 standout and the 2024 District Designated Hitter of the Year. INF Zach Wanoreck (2026) also adds firepower, following a strong showing as a Second Team All-District honoree last season. Newcomers such as OF Jacob Bennet (Kansas City CC) and INF/UTL Tyler Gowins will look to make an immediate impact, while freshman C Rayne Rojas is a young talent to watch for the future. With a mix of experience and emerging players, Timber Creek has the tools to contend for another district title and make a deeper postseason run in 2025.
