Parker Killian

Chaska

RHP

Killian, a 2026 Minnesota commit, shows a polished, athletic look on the mound with a smooth, efficient delivery from a hybrid start. At 6-foot-1, 177 pounds, he repeats well and generates late life from a compact, quick arm that produced a 91–92 mph fastball at 2,528 rpm. His sharp 84–85 mph slider (2,692 rpm) already profiles as a swing-and-miss piece, and he mixes in a firm, confident 86–87 mph changeup. With velocity, spin, and feel for three pitches, Killian projects as a high-upside rotation candidate for the Gophers.

2 Hudson Ohm Zumbrota Mazeppa RHP
Ohm, another 2026 Minnesota commit, brings a 6-foot-2, 192-pound frame and a high-tempo delivery that creates fast hip rotation and an in-line finish. His long, fluid arm works from a high three-quarter slot with natural shoulder tilt, helping him run his fastball up to 93.5 mph at the 2025 Upper Midwest ProCase. With his athletic build, clean operation, and arm strength, Ohm ranks among the top right-handers in Minnesota’s 2026 class.
3 Connor Finn Mahtomedi LHP/OF

Finn has emerged as one of the biggest risers in the 2026 class, showing a long, fluid arm from a low three-quarter slot and the ability to repeat a three-pitch mix. At the 2025 Prep Baseball Senior Future Games, he attacked the upper half of the zone with poise, striking out four of six batters and earning a commitment to Texas Tech by the end of the event. With his size, mechanics, and projection, Finn fits the mold of a high-upside left-handed arm on the rise.

4 Andrew Gette  Mounds View RHP 

Gette, a Miami commit, is a 6-foot-5, 217-pound right-hander with an easy, rhythmic delivery from a hybrid start. His long, loose arm works from a low three-quarter slot with natural separation, producing a 90–91 mph fastball that touches 92 and carries late through the zone. He pairs it with a sweeping 79–80 mph slider, a firm 85–86 mph changeup, and a tight cutter at 86–88, giving him a deep, mature mix that already plays like a next-level starter.

5 Ryan Christiansen Apple Valley RHP

Christiansen, a 6-foot-4, 210-pound Minnesota commit, offers a controlled, balanced delivery and a compact arm path that works through an inverted “W” into a three-quarter release. His fastball sits 86–90 mph with 2,265 rpm life at the top of the zone, complemented by a promising 74 mph slider and a developing 78–79 mph changeup. With his size, feel, and clean arm action, Christiansen stands out as one of the more intriguing right-handers in Minnesota’s 2026 group.
