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 lost a lot of key contributors from our 2022 team who will be tough to replace, however, I am very optimistic about this current group of guys. Our senior class has displayed great leadership this offseason and they continue to lead our program in a positive direction. It will be fun to watch this team grow throughout the season and battle any adversity that comes their way."
Head Coach Mike Furlong
