Bemidji High School athlete Jack Zellman earns Prep Baseball Minnesota invite

Jack Zellman’s 94.8 mph exit velocity helped push him into one of Minnesota baseball’s tighter scouting lanes, earning the Bemidji High School athlete an invite to Prep Baseball Minnesota’s Top Prospect Games as Bemidji opened Section 8AAAA play. Prep Baseball lists Zellman, a Class of 2028 outfielder and left-handed pitcher at Bemidji Senior High School, at 5-foot-10 and 165 pounds, with left-handed batting and throwing, and marks him as uncommitted.

The Top Prospect Games is not an open workout. Prep Baseball Minnesota lists the 2028-grad event as invite-only, scheduled for June 23 at Minnetonka High School in Minnetonka. The state operation says it covers amateur baseball scouting through news, rankings, showcases and multimedia, and its broader calendar also includes national and invite-only stages such as Future Games, Junior Future Games, Senior Future Games, Central Super Sophomore Games and Central Super Senior Games.

Zellman’s measurable tools show why the invite matters this early. His profile also lists a 21.8 hand speed, 66.6 bat speed, 82 mph outfield velocity and a 7.09-second 60-yard dash, giving college evaluators concrete numbers to compare against other underclass prospects. For a player still uncommitted, those measurements matter because they show a baseline that can be tracked over time, not just a single good weekend.

MaxPreps tracks Zellman on Bemidji’s baseball pages and shows game activity in 2025 and 2026, including his addition to the 2025 roster and a April 10, 2026 stat line in Bemidji’s 16-9 win over St. Cloud Cathedral, when he went 2-for-4 with two hits. That live spring production gives scouts another way to test whether the showcase metrics hold up against section competition.

Bemidji’s season context adds another layer. The Minnesota State High School League lists the 2026 baseball Section 8AAAA tournament beginning May 26 and running through June 4, with games at the high seed before the final rounds at Cold Spring. Bemidji Area Schools says its Lumberjack Field Improvement Project Fund is a public campaign for athletic fields and practice areas at Bemidji High School, an investment that could shape the daily environment where players like Zellman build the next round of recruiting evidence.
