As much as we love high school baseball and its impact on Peninsula campuses, we realize that there is far more to life than what goes on between the lines and in the dugouts.

Today, we pay tribute to the Class of 2026. Some are fortunate enough to continue their baseball dreams at the next level. Take advantage of that opportunity and cherish every moment.

For most of the Class of 2026, this spring marked an end to its organized playing careers, and the academic journey will resume in the fall in a new – and for some – faraway place.

Whether it's at a trade school, community college, in-state university or a prestigious university, we congratulate you on graduating from high school and wish you luck in your future endeavors.

Thanks for letting us watch you shine.

Editor's note: This list was assembled with the cooperation of most of the Peninsula coaches. If someone has been left off, please send us the name and we will add it.
