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.

TEAM OUTLOOK
“We are returning all starters from last year’s team. We will still be relatively young with only one to two seniors, but we have a very strong junior class with five returning starters and two of them were all conference and one was all section. The remaining will be sophomores and freshmen. Our pitching will be improved with the maturity of these players and we should have a better hitting line up as they all gained a lot of experience last year as well as many of them playing summer ball in various organizations. If this team makes the steps expected they should be pretty competitive this year. Our keys to a successful season will depend on players learning to get on base any way possible and be threats on the basepaths when they get there. We will need to score runs and keep pressure on the opponent each and every game. Last year we should have scored more runs and we will make changes to score more runs this year. I expect the pitching to hold it’s own as each pitcher has gained experience. We will play strong defense.” – Brian DeFrang, head coach
