2026 Minnesota High School Team Preview: Little Falls


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.

TEAM OUTLOOK

“It will be an exciting season in Little Falls, as we will basically be starting over after graduating 7 everyday starters.  We have a good, untested core of players that will be getting their first varsity experience this year, but it will allow us to get back to focusing on the fundamentals and playing solid baseball.  This group did qualify for the state tournament in VFW in 2024, so they are not without talent.   We will go into the season without a lot of specific goals in terms of wins and losses, but more in focusing on how we play, and we will see how things develop by playoffs.” – Chad Kaddatz, head coach
