“Leave no doubt.”

That’s the mindset Papillion native and Omaha Baseball star Jackson Trout is bringing to the field and to his final season as a Maverick.

In Part 1 of “Built Here: Inside Omaha Baseball,” Trout shares his journey from a lanky 170-pound high schooler who wasn’t quite ready for Division I baseball to a junior college standout, a Summit League All-League first teamer, and eventually, a team captain.
