2026 Iowa High School Team Preview: Tipton

May 17, 2026
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

“This should be a great year for the Tipton Tigers. We return 7 everyday starters and several guys that saw lots of varsity time. Plus we have a couple of newcomers that could contribute to this team as well. We should be competing for The RVC title and a deep Playoff run. This could be a record breaking year for the tigers.” – Chris Cox, head coach
