The 2026 Prep Baseball Nebraska Top Prospect Games took place on May 24, 2026, bringing together more than 110 of the state’s most highly regarded amateur players.
Scouts from over 30 college programs filled the stands, eager to evaluate talent that could soon shape the next generation of collegiate baseball.
Organizers have announced that the event’s most memorable moments will be revisited in a weekly “standout series,” giving fans a chance to relive the performances that caught the eye of recruiters.
A Pitcher to Watch
Among the standout arms was Connor Smith, a right‑hander from Bennington who delivered a commanding outing that left the scouting community buzzing. His fastball velocity topped out at 92 miles per hour, and he complemented it with a sharp breaking ball that induced swings and misses throughout the game.
Coaches noted Smith’s poise on the mound, pointing to his ability to command the strike zone and keep hitters off balance. The performance not only highlighted his physical tools but also underscored his mental readiness for higher levels of competition.
As the series progresses, attention will remain on Smith and the other prospects who impressed, as their trajectories could soon see them committing to top collegiate programs across the country.
