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

“This season will be determined by how quickly we can get players up to speed that don't have a lot of varsity experience and compliment the talents of those that do. We lost our 4 top arms from last season that ate up a majority of our innings the last 3 years and also 4 of our top hitters with 3+ years of varsity experience. So there will be ample opportunity for young guys to step up and gain valuable varsity experience but also work to continue our high level of play that we expect every day.” – Cody Hallahan, head coach
