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.

TEAM OUTLOOK
“2026 will look a lot different for the Raiders, we lost a lot of Senior leadership last year but have a strong core coming back. The roster will lean on the youthful side, but very talented. So there will be big holes to fill from 2025, but should have the talent to fill them with the new wave coming up.” – Buzz Hannahan, head coach
