The 2026 high school baseball season is quickly approaching and as usual, excitement is building throughout North Dakota. Players and coaches have been working in preparation for the upcoming season and, as is the case each year, there are some very talented players and teams across North Dakota.

Teams across the state have goals and aspirations to finish their seasons in Minot or Jamestown at the NDHSAA Class A and B State championship games, but there is plenty of work to be done before that becomes reality. We hope to shine a spotlight on all teams across the state as we preview individual teams across North Dakota.

Please keep checking back throughout the season as we will be your one-stop shop for everything related to high school baseball across the state.

Each week we will be releasing our Diamond Notes, covering all the bases across the state of North Dakota.

TEAM OUTLOOK

“We lost 6 seniors to graduation and we have a small senior class this year so we are going to rely heavily on our Jr's and Sophomores to fill those gaps. I think we will have some quality pitching but how we play defensively and if we can hit the ball will be our big unknowns until the season get going.” – Dewitt Mack, head coach
