Buffalo Grove, Ill. – Turface Athletics, a division of Profile Products, LLC, and Texas High School Baseball proudly announce the recipients of the 2026 Texas High School Baseball (THSB) Field of the Year Awards.
The announcement also marks one year since Turface Athletics became the Official Industry Educational Partner of THSB in May 2025. Since the partnership began, the organizations have worked together to support coaches, field managers, and baseball programs across Texas through field maintenance education, industry resources, and recognition programs that help strengthen the game at the high school level.
Partnering with Turface Athletics over the past year has allowed us to shine a spotlight on one of the most important, yet often overlooked, parts of high school baseball — the playing surface. At Texas High School Baseball, we’ve always believed that great fields are a reflection of great programs. These Field of the Year recipients represent the standard across Texas, and we’re proud to recognize the coaches and crews who put in the work every day to provide a first-class environment for their players.
Josh Pratt, Co-Owner Texas HS Baseball
