2026 Iowa High School Team Preview: Cedar Falls


Tyler Cropley
State Director, Prep Baseball Iowa

The 2026 high school baseball season is quickly approaching and as usual, excitement is building throughout Iowa. 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 Iowa.

Teams across the state have goals and aspirations to finish their seasons in Carroll or Cedar Rapids at the IHSAA 1A, 2A, 3A, and 4A State Tournaments, 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 Iowa.

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 Iowa.

TEAM OUTLOOK

“We return some great impact players who continue to raise the bar in our program. We are excited to see which players will step up next and continue to push our program to play in high-impact games late in the season. Each year, our roster continues to grow in the number of players who can impact a game, and we believe this year will be the same. We have had a great offseason of work and many of our players have made great gains this offseason. ”

– Brett Williams , head coach
