On Sunday, March 6th, 2022 Prep Baseball Report Minnesota will be conducting its 3rd annual PBR MN Preseason ID-Mankato event at the Maverick All-Sports Dome on the campus of Minnesota State University-Mankato. 

Of the 40 players that were in attendance for last year’s event, 14 went on to make a commitment to play college baseball at the next level. One 2022 grad who chose Bemidji State as his home for the next four years was Mankato’s own Riley Bersaw. The 109th ranked player in Minnesota’s 2022 class turned in one of the top performances a year ago.

RILEY BERSAW

 

The Preseason ID-Mankato event will see a lot of new faces this time around. This event is designed to allow players to showcase their ability which allows colleges to identify prospective student-athletes earlier in the recruiting process or find players needed immediately for next year. 

Players will also be evaluated and considered for updated player rankings along with being considered for future PBR “Invite-Only” events. The showcase will be featured on the PBR’s website, where more than 900 college coaches subscribe to look for talent. Scouting reports, statistics, and videos will be hosted in player profiles. Top players will also be identified from this event.

This year's event will host plenty of first time and young talent from both Minnesota and Iowa. PBR Minnesota is looking forward to heading back to Mankato.
