PBR Colorado 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.

With our first premier event of 2018 three weeks away, we will introduce you to players who are registered. Continuing our look at Underclass Invitational participants is 2020 OF/2B Grant Mannino of Denver School of Science and Technology.

PBR:  Describe yourself as a baseball player to those who have never seen you play:  

Mannino: I would describe myself as a player who prepares themselves for each and every game and works really hard to meet my expectations, which are always pretty high. 

PBR:  What would be your dream school to play baseball at?  If you have already committed to play at the next level, why did you choose that particular school? 

Mannino: My dream schools to play baseball at would be both the College of Charleston and the University of San Diego.

PBR:  What are your best assets on and off the field at this point in your high school career?   

Mannino: I think that my best asset as a baseball player is my ability to get on base - I draw a lot of walks and have the speed to beat out some ground balls and make things happen. Off the field, I work really hard in everything I do and am determined to meet my goals. I feel as if I always make the right decision and don't get caught up in any bad things. 

PBR:  What is the best baseball advice you have received and try to follow to this point in your career? 

Mannino: The best advice that I've ever gotten is to just keep working hard. At times, it's easy to worry about things you can't control, but I always remind myself to just keep working as hard as I can, and good things will come later. 

PBR: What does your off-season routine look like to prepare for the upcoming season? 

Mannino: During the off-season, I work out 3-4 times a week at a sports performance gym, and fill in the other days hitting in my basement or doing mirror work. Also, I try to ensure that I have a good diet that allows me to build muscle and get stronger overall. 

PBR:  What are your superstitions or routines that go on during a season? 

Mannino: I don't have any true superstitions, but I always like to get in the right mindset in which I'm calm and relaxed. I do this by taking a lot of time to stretch and listening to music. 

PBR:  What are your goals for: 

This Season: My goal for this year is to be recognized by a school that I am interested in, and perhaps invited to a camp of theirs. 

Two Years:  My goal in two years is to be playing college baseball, and majoring in something that I like, such as engineering or business. 

Four Years:  In four years, I would want to be performing well on and off the field at college by keeping good grades while also playing my best baseball.
