2026 Minnesota High School Preview: Fergus Falls


Andy Judkins
State Director, Prep Baseball Minnesota

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

“We are excited to build on last year’s success. Finishing second in our section gave us a glimpse of what we are working to build within our program — consistency.

We graduated several key players and have unfortunately already lost two more important contributors for the season due to injuries in other sports. Because of that, we will rely heavily on our returning seniors to provide leadership, while also creating opportunities for younger players to step up and contribute.

Competing in one of the toughest Class AAA sections in the state, we welcome the challenge and are looking forward to continuing to grow and develop throughout the season.” – Shane Thielke, head coach
