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 "older" this year, and in high school ball, that’s a massive advantage. We have seniors like Adam Aasen, Nolan Schneider, Grant Iverson, Will Courchane, Jason Knutson, and Nevan Johnson who have been through the gauntlet. They’ve seen the best arms in the state.

We’re built "up the middle," which is how you win championships. Kennedy Capp (2026) is developing into a premier backstop who can anchor our defense and provide a middle-of-the-order bat. Coming off Winter injury.” – Bernard Brinkley, head coach
