PBR Minnesota 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 will be a young team with some key experienced players returning. If our guys step up on the mound we should be very competitive and maybe even surprise some people in 2023. Defensively we will need to be much better than we were in 2022, and our young guys will need to step up and give us some gritty at bats day in and day out as well has fill some spots in the field wherever needed."
Dan Drazan, Pine Island Head Coach
