2018 Team Preview: Bay
January 17, 2018
The Mississippi high school season kicks off on February 26, the first day for regular season games. Most teams will begin practicing on January 29, getting their rosters set and finalizing their lineups.
Over the next several weeks, leading up to opening day, we will be rolling out team previews of high school teams all across the state and across all classifications, eventually launching our Preseason Power 25.
We have been sending out our annual Preseason Questionnaire to coaches all across the state and as the responses flood in we will bring you a snapshot of what to expect along with top players and keys to success for that particular team. If you don’t see your team’s season preview make sure your head coach fills out his Preseason Questionnaire.

Outlook
Coach Kevin Burdine’s club will rely heavily on two seniors, RHP/OF Cole Brady and C/RHP Addison Goscinski as they work to improve after exiting the playoffs in the first round a season ago. Returning four starters and three pitchers, the Tigers will look for a pair of underclassmen to anchor the lineup RHP/1B Colby Oliver and RHP/SS Carson Moran.
