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 Minnetonka had control early with a 7-2 lead through three, but No. 8 Chaska flipped it. The Hawks scored six unanswered to steal an 8-7 win. Jacob Musgjerd (2026, IF, Concordia-St. Paul) led the Skippers’ offense, going 3-for-4 with a double and two RBI, while Nolan Bartz (2026, IF, Uncommitted) jumped things with a two-run homer in the first. Chaska answered with balance and pressure. Matthew Welter (2026, 1B, Augustana) went 2-for-3 with two doubles and added three scoreless innings out of the bullpen with four strikeouts. Owen Strey (2026, SS/RHP, Creighton) created the winning run, swiping second and third before scoring on a catcher error, then closed it out with two innings on the mound to earn the win.

+ No. 4 Andover continues to stack wins. Carter Daluge (2028, 1B, Uncommitted) went 2-for-3 with a double and two RBI, while Price Caron (2026, C/OF, UW-Whitewater) reached in both trips, stole two bases, and scored twice to keep the pressure on.

+ No. 7 Champlin Park struck first with two runs in the opening frame on an RBI single from Rhys George (2026, OF/SS, Uncommitted) and an RBI double from Mac Warren (2028, 1B/RHP, Uncommitted). Blaine answered right away with four in the second and limited the Rebels the rest of the way.

+ No. 8 Maple Grove rolled behind a complete-game effort from Evan O’Dwyer (2026, RHP, Augustana). He went the distance, allowing two hits and two walks while striking out 10 in a 12-0 win over Roseville. Vince Lenmark (2027, IF, Uncommitted) stayed productive out of the nine spot, going 2-for-3 with a double, a stolen base, and three RBI.

+ No. 9 Mahtomedi bounced back with a 7-0 win over Hastings, riding a true two-way effort from Tino Foster (2027, OF, Uncommitted). He went 3-for-3 with two RBI at the plate and handled all seven innings on the mound, striking out five in a shutout performance.
