The Kansas high school baseball season kicks off on March 19, opening day for regular season action under KSHSAA regulations. Leading up to opening day, we’ll be publishing our team previews ahead of the 2024 spring season, touching on programs spanning all state classifications, counting down through the official Prep Baseball Kansas 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.

Coach’s Insight:
“We started 4 freshman and a sophomore in 2023, so we should bring back a lot of varsity experience to this season's roster. We lost 4 starting pitchers, one of whom was All State and the UKC Pitcher of the Year, so we have some unknowns in terms of our pitching.” – Justin Bode, head coach
