The Arkansas high school baseball season kicks off on Mar. 2, opening day for regular season action under AAA regulations. Leading up to opening day, we’ll be publishing our team previews ahead of the 2026 spring season, touching on programs spanning all state classifications, counting down to the official Prep Baseball Arkansas 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.

Our 2026 preseason coverage continues today.

Coach’s Insight: “Experience will be our biggest strength. We only graduated one senior last year. Our senior class this season has 6 players that have logged varsity playing time since they were freshmen. They’ve won several conference titles, a regional championship, and played the state championship game. We have to continue working on mastering the little things. We need to focus on each day and not look ahead.” – Isaac Dulaney, head coach
