The 2026 Utah 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 throughout the Beehive State.
Teams across Utah have goals and aspirations to finish their seasons by raising the 2026 State Championship trophy, 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 throughout Utah and will take you right up to first pitch this season with these team previews, eventually releasing our Preseason Top 10 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 Utah. Each week we will be releasing our Players of the Week and updating the Top 10 Rankings!
