The 2026 Ontario baseball season is quickly approaching and, as usual, excitement is abound throughout the province. 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 several leagues in Ontario.

Programs across the province have goals and aspirations to finish their seasons in their respective 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 Ontario as we preview these individual programs and players to know within those confines. 

Our 2026 preseason coverage continues today with a preview of the Ottawa Nepean Canadians.
