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.

“Looking to rebound from a disappointing year in 2025. Core guys return from a non playoff team. Missed playoffs for 1st time since 2013.”

TEAM OUTLOOK

The Forney Jackrabbits are set to enter the 2026 season under the leadership of Head Coach Jason Farrow, following a 2025 campaign where the team finished with a 14-16 record. The Jackrabbits are looking to leverage their defensive stability, which is noted as a primary team strength heading into the season. While the program graduated key contributors Logan Wells and Dillon Dryman, they return a significant portion of their lineup, including seven returning position players.

The pitching staff will be anchored by a trio of senior standouts with college commitments. LHP Garrett Jordan, a Cisco JC commit and 1st Team All-District selection, leads the staff alongside fellow LHP Jaxon Mount (Murray State JC) and RHP/INF Aiden Musser, who is committed to Fordham. In total, the Jackrabbits return one starting pitcher and two relief pitchers, providing a foundation of experience on the mound to complement their defensive core.

In addition to their veteran presence, Forney is integrating young talent into the roster. The team has identified SS Abraham Avilla (2028) as a top newcomer to watch, while INF Austin Giordano (2029) is noted as a promising freshman to know for potentially this season and in the future. With a blend of established upperclassmen and emerging underclassmen, the Jackrabbits aim to improve upon last season's results and earn a postseason berth in 2026.
