On Sunday, March 5th, Prep Baseball Report will return to SportsPlex West in Waukee, IA and hold it's 9th annual PBR IA Preseason All-State event. Perennially, this event gives us an additional opportunity to take a closer view at a number of Iowa's top talents we have seen prior; along with introducing us to some under-the-radar and underclass prospects that have made considerable strides recently.

Over the last five years; over 500 prospects who attended the PBR IA Preseason All-State event have committed to colleges to continue their baseball career. This is year should be no different. The PBR IA Preseason All-State historically brings out the most talented prospects in the state.

Look for many of these prospects to continue to cement their prospect status at the event; along with numerous other uncommitted players who are ready to leap to the fore-front in their respective classes. The event has continued to grow over the last eight years in attendance and talent. The 2023 PBR IA Preseason All-State event looks to be the deepest and most talent laden event yet. 

Excited to see everyone in Waukee on Sunday!
