2026 Nebraska High School Team Preview: Fairbury

March 9, 2026
Pascal Paul
State Director, Prep Baseball Nebraska

The 2026 high school baseball season is quickly approaching and as usual, excitement is present throughout Nebraska. 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 the Cornhusker State.

Teams across the state have goals and aspirations to finish their seasons at Werner Park at the NSAA championship games, but there is plenty of work to be done before that becomes reality. We hope to shine a spotlight on all teams across the state as we preview individual teams across Nebraska.

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 Diamond Notes and Player of The Week, covering all the bases across the state of Nebraska.

TEAM OUTLOOK

“We are looking to build on a good end to last spring season and a great end to the summer legion season. We will have a lot of guys back that have played varsity level baseball for a year or two now. We will lean on a strong pitching staff with experience and solid defense. Our hitting will be where we need to make the biggest jump. I expect this team to compete with a lot of teams and hopefully find our way into "finding a way to win". The talent has been built up and now we have to go out there and earn it.” – Ryan Garver, head coach
