The Colorado high school baseball season kicks off on March 7, opening day for regular season action under CHSAA 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 Colorado 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 2024 preseason coverage continues today:

2024 SEASON OUTLOOK:

Rocky Mountain returns plenty of varsity experience for 2024, but they did lose some pivotal pieces to the program after last spring. However, most of the pitching for this group is returning, including junior prospect Ross Frank who can carry the team both on the mound and offensively. Seniors Kirin Lawing and Cole Honick should also be big contributors for this squad once again. Coach Bullock will be asking for plenty of production from the seniors, juniors, and sophomores this season as they take on the Front Range league.
