PBR Minnesota 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.

2023 OUTLOOK:
"The Hayfield Vikings are coming off back-to-back appearances in the state championship game, winning state in 2021 and being runner-up in 2022. The Vikings graduated many key pieces from those teams, including 3-time Gopher Conference Player of the Year Easton Fritcher who is now playing for the Minnesota Gophers. The cupboard isn't bare, as program numbers are great for the Vikings. There are 64 players registered to play baseball this spring 7-12th grade. The Hayfield Jr. Legion team made a run to the state tournament this past summer, so there is some good talent coming up through the pipeline."
Kasey Krekling, Hayfield Head Coach
