The Georgia High School Association has announced that opening day of the 2019 season will commence on Feb. 11. Programs were allowed to begin practicing in an official capacity on Jan. 14, meaning it's time for the PBR Georgia staff to break down the high school baseball scene in the state in the countdown to the first pitch thrown in 2019.

Our staff sent out a preseason questionnaire to the head coaches across the state. Leading up to opening day, we'll be publishing their responses. Eventually, these team previews will bring us to our Preseason Power 25 ranking, a list of the top-25 programs in the state, updated each week.

Until then, with the help of the submitted questionnaires and our staff's research, we'll be providing you a snapshot of the prep baseball scene in Georgia. We're publishing region-by-region breakdowns along the way on the site, but allow these team preview posts to provide for you a more detailed look at the program, with some first-hand insight from the head coach, too.

Stay in tune with the GHSA season by following us on Twitter @PBRGeorgia and on our home page.

SEASON SNAPSHOT

The Sandy Creek Patriots have a number of pieces that need to be replaced in 2019, mainly within the pitching staff. However, the Patriots do return Tennessee recruit RHP/OF Connor Housley who will help rejuvinate the pitching staff along with RHP/MIF Tyler Peavy and OF/RHP Logan Byerly. What Sandy Creek lacks in pitching, they make up for in their offensive capabilities. 1B/C Brian Siefert, OF/1B John Marant and Savannah State recruit SS/OF Demirez Grier will be a force at the plate.
