The 2026 high school baseball season is quickly approaching and as usual, excitement is building throughout Minnesota. Players and coaches have been working in preparation for the upcoming season and, as is the case each year, there is no shortage of talented players and teams across the land of 10,000 lakes.

Prep Baseball Minnesota strives to be the most comprehensive source of player information across the state. Prep Baseball is the number one resource for high school baseball in each state that we cover through various events, boots-on-the-ground scouting staff, daily coverage, and multimedia platforms. Our multimedia platforms and events work together, creating each state's most potent high school baseball promotion source. While other organizations take a national approach, our goal is to become the authoritative voice on the ground level of each state.

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 Player of the week and Diamond Notes, covering all the bases across the state of Minnesota.

TEAM OUTLOOK

“I am really excited for this years team as its a great group of kids.  We have a lot of depth and a lot of guys that have potential to be solid players.  9 returning guys started multiple games last year and several others got at bats and innings on the mound. Practices are going to be fun and highly competitive as we find out who is going to step up and help us this year.  We have a lot of positions up grabs and a lot of guys worked very hard this off season and I'm excited to see the improvements they have made.” – Pat Schultz, head coach
