PBR OK 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.  

This summer, PBR OK will be highlighting some of the top ranked and uncommitted players in the 2019 class as they prepare to enter their senior seasons. Today, we look at possibly the most polished bat left uncommitted in the state in OF Cameron Thompson from Owasso HS.
