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:

+ No. 2 Chaska wrapped up a weather-delayed contest Thursday against Lakeville North. The Hawks resumed play trailing 3-0 and the Panthers added two more runs while Chaska’s offense never found much traction. Joshua Keenan (2027, LHP, Uncommitted) settled things down on the mound, working five innings while allowing two runs, striking out six, and not issuing a walk. Chaska closes the regular season at 17-5.

+ No. 8 Perham split a doubleheader with Moorhead, with both games ending in 8-3 finals. In the opener, Drew Ellingson (2026, RHP, Minnesota-Crookston) turned in six strong innings, allowing just one earned run on five hits while striking out seven. Brody Blume (2028, SS/RHP, Uncommitted) paced the offense with a 3-for-3 performance that included an RBI and a run scored, then closed out the final inning on the mound with two strikeouts. In the nightcap, the Yellowjackets fell behind 4-0 through the first three innings and couldn’t climb back. Braydn Anderson (2026, IF, Uncommitted) led the offense by going 3-for-4. Perham finishes the regular season at 19-4.
