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:
"Lots of returning players. Expectations are high for the players and coaches. We are a lot of different pieces it will be managing them and figuring out how the pieces fit the best. It should be a fun competitive summer. It will come down to how well we throw and catch the ball."
