The Road to Omaha Goes Through Lexington County
Seven players who once called Lexington County Baseball Stadium home are now playing on the biggest stage in college baseball. That's not a coincidence ... that's the Blowfish difference.
The 2026 College World Series is underway in Omaha, and the Lexington County Blowfish are well-represented. From the mound to the infield, former Blowfish are competing for a national championship, proving once again that a summer in the Coastal Plain League is elite player development in action.
Here's a look at the Blowfish alumni making noise at the 2026 CWS:
