The 6th of our 29 conference previews for the 2026 NCAA Baseball season focuses on the Ohio Valley Conference, or the OVC. This series is meant to serve as a primer for the 2026 college baseball season and to keep everyone busy with something to read as we lead up to opening weekend. Each article in this series consists of All-Conference projections, standings projections, top draft prospects, newcomers to watch, breakdowns with expectations for every team in every conference, and final thoughts about the conference as a whole. The previous conference preview covered the Mountain West and if you haven’t checked that out yet, you can do so below.
