The 2026 Texas high school baseball season is quickly approaching and, as usual, excitement is abound 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 Texas.

Teams across the state have goals and aspirations to finish their seasons in Austin at the UIL State Tournament in June, 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 Texas. We will take you right up to first pitch this season with these team previews, eventually releasing our Preseason Power 30 rankings that’ll carry us into the opening week of action.

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 and updating the Power 25 rankings.

TEAM OUTLOOK

The AC Jones Trojans, led by Head Coach Richard Vasquez, enter the 2026 season looking to build on their previous 8-17-1 record. The team identifies pitching as its primary strength heading into the new year. While they must overcome the loss of four-year starter and 1st Team All-District pitcher Caleb DeLeon, who moved on to play at Coastal Bend College, the Trojans return a veteran core of eight position players and four total pitchers.

The roster is headlined by a strong group of 1st Team All-District returners from the class of 2026, including LHP/OF Tyler Lang, 2B Brian Rivas, C Luke Roznovsky, and OF Davyn Perez. This experienced upperclassman group is supported by several 2nd Team All-District selections from the class of 2027, specifically INF Trip Munoz and OF Nick Montoya, as well as sophomore 1B Jojo Martinez. With a deep rotation and significant returning talent, the Trojans are working toward a potential postseason berth in 2026.
