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

“After securing our second consecutive winning season, our varsity baseball team enters the new year with confidence and momentum. Returning seven of nine starters along with our top two pitchers, this experienced group is poised to build on last season’s success.

Speed will once again be a defining strength, as we look to pressure opponents on the base paths and create scoring opportunities in multiple ways. On the mound, our returning pitchers provide stability and leadership, giving us a strong foundation in every series.

Defensively, we remain committed to making it a top priority. Consistency in the field and attention to detail will continue to set the tone for our program. Offensively, we’re focused on driving more balls to the gaps and turning hard contact into extra-base opportunities. With experience, speed, and a competitive mindset, this year’s squad is ready to take the next step.” – Codey Miller, head coach
