Denmark has won the past two WIAA Division 2 state titles and the Vikings don't seem poised to slow down. The trio of seniors Lucas Miller and Ethan Ovsak and junior Jaycob Dittmer combined to go 22-2 on the mound last season and give Denmark an incredible top of the rotation. Senior catcher and Saint Mary's - MN commit Rheis Johnson enters his third season behind the plate, serving as the stabilizer of the pitching staff. Hall of Fame head coach Bill Miller will look to lead Denmark to its third straight state tournament and possible championship.

Mosinee, Catholic Memorial, Edgewood and Altoona fill out the rest of the top five.

Below are the preseason spring baseball rankings courtesy of the Baseball Wisconsin Yearbook. The 2023 book is the 31st edition, 250 pages in length and in full color.
