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.

2022 OUTLOOK:
“We will bring a young, talented team into the 2022 season. We have a core group of seniors who will need to lead our team as we bring a completely new team into the season. The juniors are very talented, but have limited experience at the varsity level. It will be fun to watch this team grow and come together as we prepare for a jam packed schedule.” Head Coach Derek Stecklein
