High School Baseball Season Sets to Launch in 2024

Excitement is in the air as high school baseball returns, kicking off the season on March 3, 2024. With teams across the state ready to take the field, fans are already buzzing about who might take home the title this year. Let’s dive into the preseason favorites across various classifications and see what’s cooking!

6A Class: American Fork Takes the Lead

As the dust settles on last year’s championship season, the competition is heating up in 6A. American Fork emerges as a top contender, having secured the coveted No. 1 seed in last year’s tournament, even though they fell short of the championship. This season, all eyes will be on their strong roster as they make another push for glory. Meanwhile, defending champions Lehi are right on their heels, starting the season ranked number two.

5A Class: Brighton Holds the Favor

In the 5A classification, Brighton has grabbed the spotlight as the preseason favorite. The team retains 12 players from last year’s runner-up squad, which had a stellar run. This continuity could give them a substantial edge, especially with their robust pitching lineup poised to dazzle on the mound. Fans are eager to see how this experienced team will perform, and the excitement in the stands is palpable.

4A Class: Snow Canyon Battles Challenges

Snow Canyon is back as the favorite in 4A, but this season will come with its own set of challenges. The defending champions are fresh off losing 13 players to graduation, a significant shake-up for any team. They are tasked with filling those big shoes, and it will be interesting to see if they can rise to the occasion and keep their championship hopes alive this year.

3A Class: Union Slightly Ahead of Juab

In the 3A scene, Union has nabbed the top preseason spot, edging out Juab, who is also looking strong. With seven players returning from last year’s championship team, Union has a solid foundation to build upon. The buzz around Union is electric as their coach gears up for what promises to be a thrilling season. Juab, on the other hand, is not backing down, aiming to reclaim its status with standout player Austin Park, who recently earned the title of 2024 Mr. Baseball and signed with BYU. This matchup between Union and Juab could be one for the history books!

2A Class: South Sevier’s Depth

South Sevier is poised to make waves in 2A, bolstered by the fact that they graduated only one senior from last year’s squad. This gives them a wealth of experience and a strong senior class that many teams will envy. As the season gets underway, it’ll be fascinating to see how South Sevier utilizes this depth in their quest for a championship.

Preparing for Action

The stage is set and anticipation is building as these high school teams prepare for their first games. As fans rally behind their local teams, there’s a palpable sense of community and school spirit in the air. Everyone is ready to see how the season unfolds, as each game could bring surprises and shakeups in the rankings!
