The MN Preseason All-State is one of Minnesota’s most highly anticipated events for the top 2019 prospects in the region. This Sunday, March 18- the sold out invite-only event will bring over 120 of the top junior prospects in the region to the Vadnais Sports Center in Vadnais Heights, MN.

70+ players from last year’s MN Preseason All-State have gone on to make college commitments and this year’s event is likely to produce much of the same.

The 2018 event will feature a majority of the uncommitted 2019 prospects that are currently ranked in their class in the state. 

The top uncommitted player in attendance is C/OF Joey Danielson (Eden Prairie). Currently the No. 7 ranked player in the class, Danielson is a physical athlete with big power potential at the plate.

Another highly intriguing uncommitted prospect to look out for on Sunday will be RHP/UTL Bennett Theisen (Minnehaha Academy). Currently ranked No. 8 in the class, Theisen can run his fastball into the upper-80's and pounds the strike zone with his three-pitch repertoire; along with showing arm strength at multiple positions and power potential at the plate.
