The 2026 high school baseball season is underway and, as usual, excitement is present throughout Minnesota. Players and coaches have been working in preparation for the season and, as is the case each year, there are some very talented players and teams across the North Star 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 Power Rankings, Scout Blog, Diamond Notes, and Player of The Week, covering all the bases. Today, we look at the scores from our teams in our Power Rankings.

NOTES

+ Cretin-Derham Hall found a way late, and it started on the mound. Ike Crouser (2027, RHP/C, Notre Dame commit) was dominant in relief, spinning four hitless, scoreless innings with eight punchouts to earn the win. The Raiders needed a swing to match it, and Joe Fenlon (2026, SS, St. Thomas commit) delivered, launching a game-tying homer to center in the fifth to punch his ticket into the #MNBombSquad.

+ No. 2 Minnetonka showed some edge, rallying past No. 6 Edina, 7-4. Garrett Wheeler (2026, SS, New Mexico State) came through with an RBI knock, Carter Storts (2026, OF, Augustana) reached in three of four trips, and Lucas Wrangle (2027, OF, Uncommitted) chipped in a pair of hits. For Edina, Lincoln Page (2028, OF, Uncommitted) continues to look the part, going 2-for-3 with two RBI on a pair of singles.

+ Farmington got a statement outing from Brodie Gibart (2026, LHP, Augustana), who no-hit Burnsville over five innings in a 10-0 run-rule win. He worked around two walks and piled up seven strikeouts.

+ Champlin Park wasted no time making noise, hanging 19 runs in five innings on Coon Rapids. Caleb Greer (2026, OF, Bemidji State) set the tone at the top of the order, going 2-for-4 with a triple, four RBI, and two runs scored.

+ It took extras, but Mounds View earned it, walking off Stillwater, 4-3, in nine. Andrew Gette (2026, RHP, Miami commit) set the tone early, punching out nine over 4.2 innings of one-run ball. The offense kept chipping, led by RJ Madison’s (2027, OF, Uncommitted) 4-for-5 day, and when it mattered most, Cooper Caligiuri (2026, C, Uncommitted) delivered the swing, driving in Madison for the game-winner in the ninth.

+ Mahtomedi leaned on its ace in a 7-3 win over Two Rivers. Connor Finn (2026, LHP Texas Tech) gave them four innings of one-hit ball, striking out six while battling through three walks. He also jump-started the offense early, driving in Cody Loida (2026, SS, Sioux Falls) with an RBI double in the first.

+ Maple Grove rode a big-time two-way performance from Evan O’Dwyer (2026, RHP, Augustana commit), who struck out 12 over six innings, allowing just one run on five hits. He helped his own cause at the plate with an RBI double. Vince Lenmark (2027, IF, Uncommitted) added impact from the lineup, going 2-for-3 with a double, a stolen base, and three RBI.
