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. 1 Farmington continues to overwhelm opponents, now outscoring teams 32-0 over its last three games after an 11-0 win over Prior Lake in five innings. Ethan Hagman (2026, RHP/SS, New Mexico State), Matthew Hennen (2027, C, Illinois State), and Ty Beck (2027, OF, Uncommitted) all left the yard, while Grady Renwick (2026, DH, Southwest Minnesota State) went 2-for-2 with a double, triple, and three runs scored. Brodie Gibart (2026, LHP, Augustana) dominated on the mound, striking out 12 of the 21 hitters he faced. The Tigers are now 17-1.

+ No. 3 Chaska defended home turf with a 6-4 win over No. 10 Orono at Athletic Park. The Hawks built an early six-run cushion before holding off a late push from the Spartans. Ethan Williams (2026, C, Southwest Minnesota State) got things rolling with a two-run single early. For Orono, Rory Kvern (2026, IF, Uncommitted) went 3-for-4 with a double, while Chaz Brookins (2026, DH/RHP, Gustavus) drove in a pair. Blake Vriesen (2027, RHP, Uncommitted) locked down the save as Chaska moved to 12-3.
