PBR Iowa strives to be the most comprehensive source of player information across the state. The Prep Baseball Report is the No. 1 resource for high school baseball in each state we cover through our variety of events, boots-on-the-ground scouting staff, daily coverage, and multimedia platforms. Our multimedia platforms and events work in tandem, ultimately creating the most powerful source of high school baseball promotion in each state.  While other organizations take a national approach, our goal is to become the authoritative voice on the ground level of each state.

2019 OUTLOOK
"We are very excited about the upcoming season, the boys were disappointed with how last year ended and are very hungry. They have worked extremely hard this off-season and will be looking to make some noise. We return our top five bats and several position players we have a promising sophomore class that we will rely on." Head Coach Nick Steenhagen
