The 2026 college season will be here before you know it as the majority of our NCAA D2 squads will begin their seasons the last weekend of January.

In the past, we have looked ahead to the season with season previews, but this year we are changing it up a bit with a fall report that will also provide a look to the season ahead.

SSBR recently sent out questionnaires to each head coach of the small college (NCAA D2, NAIA, NCCAA) and JUCO schools in the state. We asked them to provide who their top returners, top newcomers, and top performers were in the fall. We’ve compiled that information into the fall report with an outlook for the upcoming 2026 season.

Outlook

When it comes to the winningest head coach in junior college baseball history, no one has more than Perry Keith of Connors State. Keith broke the record in 2023 (ironically over fellow Oklahoman, Lloyd Simmons of Seminole State) and currently has more than 1900 career wins.

The Cowboys look to add several more to that total in 2026 and they just may have the team to do even more. They return 2 solid starters on the mound, and three of their top bats from 2025.

Adding to the depth on the mound for the Cowboys in 2026 will be Kord Fenton of Wister and Jayden Gould of Stigler. Gould was in Warner in 2025, but did not pitch for the Cowboys.

Keith also says that the Cowboys have power offensively.

It looks like the Cowboys have the tools once again that could lead them to a deep postseason run.
