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:
"Our team returns many experienced players and a solid nucleus of pitching, but we fell short of our goal last year. Like most teams, we are in need of veteran and inexperienced players stepping up. We will need to challenge ourselves throughout the season to be playing our best ball come playoff time."
Michael Dinnel, Pine River-Backus Head Coach
