FIELD REPORT: VYPE San Antonio 2026 Preseason Baseball Rankings
The new campaign is here, and numerous ballclubs carry the weight of last year’s success, while others enter with the chance to redefine themselves in a competitive landscape.
Smithson Valley stands out, having reached the UIL 5A title game for the first time. Though its bid for an inaugural championship fell to Aledo, the Rangers return much of last year’s frontline talent and enter 2026 poised to turn that milestone into sustained momentum.
Close behind, Boerne Champion carries confidence from a four-round postseason run, while New Braunfels and Davenport made regional semifinal appearances, underscoring the strength at the upper end of Class 5A and 4A. Each team combines experienced lineups with the potential for a deep March-to-May push.
In 6A, a cluster of programs shapes a competitive landscape. Reagan, Johnson, Clemens, Brandeis, San Marcos, and Sotomayor all reached the postseason a year ago, and will look to capitalize on the valuable familiarity they each possess.
If 2025 offered any lessons, it’s that experience and cohesion matter, but the race for district and state honors is far from predictable.
