The 2026 high school baseball season is almost here with opening day coming up on Monday February 9, 2026. The 2025 spring was another fantastic season and we're excited for what is sure to be an eventful 2026 season. Our staff, which includes myself and Area Scouts Tyler Leary and Davis Johnson, were able to get out and see 150 games last spring and we're planning on seeing even more this year.
With the season looming, it's time for us to unveil our Preseason All-State Team for the 2026 season.
