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 fell behind early against Totino-Grace and never recovered, dropping a 5-1 contest. The Hawks trailed 3-0 in the third and finally broke through in the fifth on an RBI double from Parker Killian (2026, RHP/OF, Minnesota), but that was all the offense they could muster. Chaska closes the regular season at 17-4.

+ No. 3 Shakopee outlasted Waconia in extras, pushing across two runs in the eighth inning to secure their 17th win of the season. Colton Jenks (2026, IF, Uncommitted) reached to lead off the frame after being hit by a pitch, Logan Krosch (2026, SS, St. John's) followed with a double, and Cooper Lenz (2027, RHP/IF, Uncommitted) delivered the big swing with a two-run single to plate both runners. Kaden Olson (2026, C/RHP, Minnesota-Duluth) took over in the bottom half and shut the door with a clean inning. The Sabers are now 17-3 and will open section play Monday.

+ No. 6 Rosemount held off a late Hastings rally to escape with a 6-5 win. Trailing 3-1 in the fourth, Cal Ronay (2026, RHP/IF, Uncommitted) tied the game with a two-run double before Jack Japel (2026, IF, Uncommitted) gave the Irish the lead an inning later with an RBI single. Rosemount finishes the regular season at 18-5.

+ No. 10 Centennial rolled past Forest Lake, 11-1, in run-rule fashion to move to 19-5. Jaden Anderson (2027, RHP/1B, Uncommitted) stuffed the stat sheet, going 3-for-4 with two doubles, four RBI, two runs scored, and a stolen base. He also started on the mound and tossed three scoreless innings, allowing just one hit while striking out three.
