2026 Update – Powerful Pins

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prep Dig Minnesota released a rankings update for the class of 2026 this week and there are some real gems in this group. It's fiercely competitive at the top of the rankings and the pin hitters are trying to make their presence known. These players are making a mark this spring and proving they will be players to keep an eye on this fall. Here's a close look at five pin hitters powering their way up the rankings.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["199397"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6656d4c5cb1de"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Major sets herself apart from other pins with her all-around game. She is a solid six-rotation player in a balanced attack for NL. Major isn't always conventional and I love that because she isn't afraid to get creative to score.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/19001313/663851b7ce7bbd25ca7b6c43' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6656d4c5cb386"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["338397"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6656d4c5cb3d9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">If you haven't already seen Lunski in action I HIGHLY recommend adding her to your players-to-watch list. I mean Lunski scorching the ball lately. I love seeing her expand the tools in her toolbelt and coming into her own as an attacker. She is an explosive jumper and she will joust with the best of them at the net.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/21602309/66293ab2662a6e710f7c9a58' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6656d4c5cb3fb"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["478380"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6656d4c5cb437"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Reeder has a high ceiling and not that I see her playing 6 rotations on the right side I feel like her ceiling was just expanded. Starting with the incredibly high contact point she has to the super-fast arm swing which creates an attack so lethal it will hit the floor before you see it. But no matter the pin she is taking huge swings on the ball and I'm loving her attacks out of the back row as well as her defensive plays. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/15497809/661809889303db7e28c546a1' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6656d4c5cb454"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["196506"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6656d4c5cb48c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I love the progress that I've seen Swenson make this club season. It's awesome when you see things really start to click and you can see that in her general confidence with every set and every swing she takes. Swenson has always put up a monster block but now her footwork and arm swing have sped up and her set location is becoming more consistent. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/17116838/65cc3de2664b70093c0656ca' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6656d4c5cb4aa"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["338394"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6656d4c5cb509"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kreiser is a highly productive attacker and is taking a big lead on the MN Select 16-2 team. She is finding a way to make an impact in all 6 rotations. I love her approach to the outside pin and her ability to terminate from the back row. She puts up a really solid block and gives her team a solid first contact.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/17116700/662588a8ff4d2fe19a684333' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6656d4c5cb52b"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">More Powerful Pins</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='199394' first='Romi' last='Chlebecek'] - MN Select</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='207307' first='Miracle' last='Jensen'] - [program_tooltip program_id='449558' first='AVB' last='Fire']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='338415' first='Brielle' last='Ogdahl']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='462870' first='Emma' last='Thein'] - SWMNVB</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='447290' first='Sarahya' last='College'] - Crossfire</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='401559' first='Marisa' last='Michaelis'] - M1</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='348406' first='Kyla' last='Klein'] - Northern Lights</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='244521' first='Karlie' last='Wollum'] - SWMNVB</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='256571' first='Courtney' last='Peters'] - Kokoro</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='261233' first='Ellie' last='Friedrichs'] - Vital</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
