The 2026 high school baseball season is quickly approaching and as usual, excitement is building throughout Minnesota.

TEAM OUTLOOK
“New Ulm Cathedral graduated a very solid senior class in 2025 that helped lead us to a Class A second place finish. We also return a solid core of players who were big contributors last year and will be asked to take another step forward this year. The main area we will need to see growth from players is on the mound where players will be taking on increased roles in comparison to last year. Offensively we look to get contributions up and down the order and execute situationally. We hope to once again be competitive in the Tomahawk Conference and Section 2.” – Alan Woitas, head coach
