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.

2022 OUTLOOK:
“I really like our squad this year. Kruger was one of the top pitchers in the state last year and look for him to be an anchor again on the mound. We have a lot of experience coming back from a state runner-up finish. Luskey's injury will hurt obviously on the field but also with his leadership on and off the field. But we have a lot of talented newcomers who have worked very hard since last year to earn a spot on the field and to fill in where needed. I'm excited to see the improvement from both the new guys and the returning players!”
Pat Schultz, Belle Plaine Head Coach
