The 2026 high school baseball season is quickly approaching and as usual, excitement abounds throughout the state. Players and coaches have been working in preparation for the upcoming season, and, as is the case each year, there are some very talented players and teams across Florida.

Teams across the state have goals and aspirations to finish their seasons in the FHSAA state championships, but there is plenty of work to be done before that becomes reality. We hope to familiarize our readers with many of the teams across the state as we preview individual teams across Florida. We will take you right up to first pitch this season with these team previews and releasing our preseason top-25 rankings in the state.

Please keep checking back throughout the season as we will be your one-stop shop for everything related to high school baseball across the state.

Each week, we will be releasing our Players of the Week, as well as updating our Power 25 overall rankings.

*Please note the information has been gathered from head coaches across the state, based on their replies to the questionnaire we distributed over this offseason.

TEAM OUTLOOK

Projected Starting 9: C Noah Johnson 1b Ethan Farrington & Jackson Wainscott 2B Jackson Warren & Bucky Barnes SS Yadiel Ruiz 3b Kevin Cusick LF Dyson Beamon CF Bryce Niebrugge RF Cyrus Thomas & Jackson Wainscott
Projected Pitching Staff: Bryce Niebrugge RHP / CF Sr., Ethan Farrington RHP / Gavin Estright RHP Jr., Kevin Cusick RHP / 3b Jr.
Team Strengths: We have a good young infield and an improving outfield. Our pitching staff performed well in the fall. Offensively, if we can execute, play as a team, and have "productive outs," we will be a tough team to play in the Spring.

“We had a good fall and hope to continue our trend of winning in the Spring. Pitching and defense always give you a chance to win, and we have depth on the mound and shown solid defensive play. ” – Kevin Wainscott, head coach
