2026 North Dakota Class A State Tournament Preview

Josh Gustafson RHP / West Fargo High School, ND / 2027

Gustafson is coming off a stellar outing against a loaded WF Horace squad, striking out 6 across 6 innings pitched. An intriguing arm, boasting a 6'6" 200 lb frame, the ceiling is high for this uncommitted junior.

Jack Tooke 3B / RHP / Mandan, ND / 2027

The freshly committed Illinois-Chicago commit had a stellar WDA tournament, highlighted by his game-winning bomb in the 11th inning vs. a pesky Dickinson squad. Look for the Future Games alum at the hot corner and on the rubber.

Ty Weiler RHP / Mandan, ND / 2026

The senior right-hander was a part of a combined no-hitter in the WDA play-in game. Sitting 82-83, he mixed effectively with a diving changeup and breaking ball.

Ty Weiler (2026, RHP, Mandan) has been effective, mixing speeds consistently.

Cason Borchardt OF / LHP / Horace, ND / 2027

Borchardt has hit 11 bombs this season while being effective on the mound for the Hawks. The future Oregon Duck is a name to watch tomorrow.

Jett Collins SS / 3B / Horace, ND / 2026

The Butler CC commit has been a constant name in our Diamond Notes all spring and shows no signs of cooling off. Reliable production out of the two hole for Horace. A dynamic athlete up the middle.

Brody Mueller SS / RHP / Minot North, ND / 2026

Mueller will look to continue his success at his future college field. Against Williston in the WDA tournament he tossed 7 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 2BB, 13 Ks. The Future Beaver will run his fastball into the mid-80s.

Caden Nelson RHP / 3B / Fargo South, ND / 2027

Nelson is hot off a 16 punchout performance against Red River and possesses some of the best stuff on the mound in the Midwest. The Texas A&M recruit features a low-to-mid 90s fastball with a SL/CH/CT trio of secondary options. Look for his bat in the 3 hole as well for the Bruins.

Carson Shiek RHP / 3B / Fargo South, ND / 2026

The top uncommitted 2026 has had a heck of a year, tossing 2 no hitters. Shiek was in the mid-80s at our Fargo-Preseason ID in 2025. The Fargo South arm will be a fun look this weekend.  

Jake Dangerud 1B / OF / West Fargo Sheyenne High School, ND / 2028

The sophomore hit in the 3 spot for the Mustangs through the EDC tournament. Dangerud was smooth swinging when we saw him at our North Dakota-Preseason ID. A name we are excited to see in game.
