2026 Nebraska High School Team Preview: Mount Michael
March 6, 2026
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
“This will be a deep, but young team, with a lot of talent. We will lean heavily on a group of Juniors who won the Class B Junior Legion State Tournament. Although this will be the first significant time at the Varsity level for many of them, they have been very successful thus far in High School and Legion baseball at the lower levels.” – Tom Swanson, head coach
