OK Spring Preview: Edmond Memorial

The Oklahoma high school baseball season kicks off on March 2nd, opening day for regular season action under Ossaa regulations. Over the next several weeks, leading up to opening day, we’ll be publishing our team previews ahead of the 2020 spring season, touching on programs spanning all state classifications, leading into a countdown through the official PBR Oklahoma 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.

If you would like your team covered, please have your head coach email us at [email protected]

OUTLOOK

The Edmond Memorial will have a young, but one of the most talented pitching staffs in the state. If they can stay healthy, the Bulldogs will be very hard to score against late in the year. Offensively, they have some capable, but unproven bats in the lineup that they will need to step up.
