Dickinson (ND) |

|
|
Kyler Kudrna, a long and projectable 6-foot-3, 180-pound right-hander from Dickinson (ND), showed well at the 2025 Senior Future Games with clean innings and a sharp 74–77 mph slider that missed bats. The uncommitted arm ran his fastball up to 87–88 mph with 2200+ rpm and mixed a fading 79–80 mph changeup for a confident three-pitch mix. With his size, athleticism, and room to fill out, Kudrna offers a high-upside profile. |

| 2 | Wyatt Reeder | Home School (SD) | SS/2B |
|
Few BP rounds make noise like Wyatt Reeder’s did at the Rapid City Summer ID, where the 2026 slugger peppered balls out to right field and peaked at 101.5 mph EV, earning a quick commitment from Nebraska. The bat is the separator, as Reeder generates effortless, loud power that projects to a middle-of-the-order role. Continued defensive development will help determine his future position, but the offensive impact is already undeniable. |

| 3 | Hudson Dinger | West Fargo Sheyenne (ND) | RHP |
|
North Dakota State commit Hudson Dinger, a 6-foot-2, 205-pound right-hander from West Fargo Sheyenne, brings the look of an impact arm with a stretch-only delivery that creates angle and carry on an 84–88 mph fastball (T88, 2380 rpm). His curveball spins up to 2705 rpm at 72–73 mph and flashes legitimate swing-and-miss potential, supported by a short slider at 75 and a developing changeup. Physical, competitive, and armed with four pitches, Dinger is one of North Dakota’s top 2026 arms. |

| 4 | Alex Seaver | Red River (ND) | RHP/SS |
|
Red River’s Alex Seaver is a sturdy 6-foot-2, 200-pound right-hander with a rhythmic, leveraged delivery and a low three-quarter slot that creates tough angles. At the Dakotas State Games he sat 86–87 mph with carry, mixing a 69 mph curveball with depth and a firmer 74–77 mph slider that profiles as his putaway pitch. He also shows feel for an 80–81 mph changeup with reduced spin. Seaver may not overpower yet, but his frame, pitchability, and ability to shape three secondaries make him a strong 2026 follow in North Dakota. |
|||
| 5 | Drake Eastman | Dell Rapids (SD) | RHP/SS |
|
Dell Rapids (SD) product Drake Eastman may stand 5-foot-9, 170 pounds, but his dynamic delivery and explosive arm speed make him one of the more electric 2026 arms in the Dakotas. At the Sioux Falls Preseason ID he sat 87–89 mph with fastball spin up to 2379 rpm, and later showcased a hammer 70–72 mph curveball that reached 2896 rpm. A 79–80 mph fading changeup rounds out the mix. With athleticism, elite spin, and mound presence, Eastman’s profile plays far bigger than his frame.
