We are working our way toward Opening Day 2026, and today we bring together a strong lineup to get you ready for the season.
Scott McGee, Head Coach at Willard High School, joins us to talk about that season opener and what it takes to prepare a program for the start of a new year.
We are also joined by Daryl Bradley, Assistant Executive Director of MSHSAA, who oversees baseball for the state. We discuss what’s new with rules, potential class movers, and when we can expect to see the official 2026 District Assignments.

And of course, we have the Guru himself, Kevin Moulder, Director of Scouting, to break down the upcoming Missouri All-State Invitation Only Showcase happening this weekend at The Sports Barn in Wentzville, MO. We’ll get an early look at some players to watch as we inch closer to opening day.

Opening Day is coming — let’s get ready the right way here on Youth Baseball Midwest.
