Prep Baseball Dakotas

Prep Baseball Dakotas strives to be the most comprehensive source of player information across North and South Dakota. Prep Baseball is the number one resource for high school baseball in each state that we cover through various events, boots-on-the-ground scouting staff, daily coverage, and multimedia platforms. Our multimedia platforms and events work together, creating each state's most potent high school baseball promotion source. While other organizations take a national approach, our goal is to become the authoritative voice on the ground level of each state.

As we prepare for the upcoming 2025 high school season, we will be taking a preseason glimpse at programs from around the state of North Dakota.

COACHES THOUGHTS

”We are pleased with the number of guys we have returning that have played quality innings for us the past few years. We consistently played good defense and pitched well last season. Going into the 2025 season we will have to continue to do those things, but we will need to be better at the plate.”

- Matt Weidler, Head Coach
