PBR Iowa 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.

2023 OUTLOOK:
"We have some very talented athletes that we hope will gel together as a team. We return a lot of starters this season and have some very talented young players as well. I think this team has very good depth with both pitchers and position players. Players will need to understand their roles and be ready to compete every night. We play in the extremely tough CIML, where every conference game you will face state tournament type pitching. Consistency each night will be the key to the team that finishes first in the CIML this season."
Head Coach Mark Hey
