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

“Heading into the 2026 season, pitching is our strength, with strong depth and multiple arms we trust in big situations. We return all but two players going into 2026. Last year being our first year as a varsity program we took our lumps along the way, but our guys learned a lot about what we need to do to compete at the varsity level. We look forward to competing every day and growing as a team that will work to be playing our best ball when it matters most.” – Bryan Krahler, head coach
