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 have high hopes for the 2022 season returning 7 starters and bringing in some very talented underclassmen. Our top 3 pitchers from 2021 are back and have improved over the winter. I believe the wins/losses for our boys this Summer will stem from how well they can hit the baseball and improve upon last years team .265 BA. If we can get that up to .300ish as a group with the pitchers we have back, the Eagles should have a fantastic year. The boys have put in more consistent work this off-season than I have seen out of any team I've had. They love the game and have put the effort in to be proud of any successes they have this Summer.” Head Coach Steve Gebhart
