2026 Minnesota High School Preview: Rushford-Peterson


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.

“Excellent group of young men, who have been working hard since last seasons disappointing first round playoff exit. We are missing 2 seniors (Zach Baker and Avery Kammerer due to injuries) and another junior (Evan Rislov), but have a great group of underclassmen that are excited for the opportunity to step in and compete! Have a core group that has seen significant varsity time since 8th and 9th grade that are ready to help us take the next step in our first year competing in 1AA.” – Blake Lea, head coach
