The second of our 29 conference previews for the 2026 NCAA Baseball season is the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC). This series is meant to be 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 is going to consist of All-Conference projections, standings projections, draft prospects and transfers to watch, breakdowns with expectations for every team in every conference, and final thoughts about the conference as a whole. The previous conference preview was the SoCon and if you haven’t given that a read, you can do so below.
