Seacoast High Schools Prepare for an Exciting 2025 Baseball Season

As spring approaches, excitement is building across the Seacoast area. Local high school baseball teams are gearing up for what promises to be an exhilarating 2025 season. Last year, both Exeter and Newmarket made impressive runs to the state championship games but faced disappointing outcomes. On a quest for redemption, they’re rallying their players and prepping for a fresh start.

Exeter: Aiming for the Top

Exeter High School, which finished the 2024 season with a remarkable 21-2 record, will be striving for glory after falling to Pinkerton Academy in the Division I title match. Key players returning include Hayden Schimoler, a senior shortstop and pitcher who has made a commitment to the University of Maine, and Cam Piwnicki, who is heading to Brown University as a senior pitcher and outfielder. With these talented players leading the charge, Exeter is determined to secure the championship that narrowly slipped from their grasp last year.

Newmarket: Ready to Rise

Not far behind, Newmarket’s team also tasted the bittersweet flavor of defeat in their Division IV finals against Gorham. Coach Derek Summers and his squad, which is facing a unique challenge with only 10 players on the roster this season, are ramping up their training and strategizing to set the pitch for a stronger comeback. With a record of 11-10 for 2024, they hope to build momentum and deliver some serious competition on the field.

Dover: Eyes on Playoff Glory

Dover High School’s baseball team finished 2024 with a record of 14-8, only to see their postseason hopes dashed in the Division I quarterfinals against North. Coach Scott Dubben is emphasizing the necessity for increased run production if they wish to see success in upcoming playoffs. With senior stars like Will Angers, Grant Davis, and Treston Earley returning, there’s a lot of potential for the team to step up this year.

Other Local Contenders

Meanwhile, Spaulding High School will be looking to improve upon its 7-12 record from last season, after a quick exit in the first round of the Division I tournament against Exeter. Owen Nesbitt, a senior pitcher known for his performance, is set to make a significant impact as they gear up for the new season.

For the Warriors, also known for their resilient spirit, Coach Aaron Abood is guiding a team that culminated the 2024 season with a 14-8 record. This year sees them welcoming back talented players such as Alex Santora and Connor Fowler, who can both take charge and influence close games.

Oyster River, under Coach Cam Calato, ended the previous season with a respectable record of 11-9 and faced tough competition in the Division II semifinals. They’re hoping to rise to the championship level this season. Coach Carson Cross’s Saints had a solid 15-5 season last year, eager to improve upon their playoff exit in the quarterfinals.

New Beginnings for Others

The Mules, led by Coach Stan Jurkoic, have their sights set on a seventh consecutive appearance in the Division IV championships, following a strong 16-4 performance last year. The team is keen to keep up their impressive streak.

St. Thomas Aquinas will be running a new season under Coach Tracey Bryant after finishing the 2024 season at 4-12. Combined with the strong senior lineup at York, who had a 12-6 record, they hope to find their footing and make a splash this year.

With teams like Portsmouth Christian Academy and Traip Academy also looking to make their mark, the Seacoast area is set to see some thrilling high school baseball action. All teams are scheduled to kick off their seasons around April 14, 2025, so let the countdown begin! Fans can expect nail-biting matches, talented athletes, and lots of fun as the season unfolds.
