Prep Baseball Minnesota strives to be the most comprehensive source of player information across the state. Prep Baseball is the number one resource for high school baseball in each state that we cover through various events, boots-on-the-ground scouting staff, daily coverage, and multimedia platforms. Our multimedia platforms and events work together, creating each state's most potent high school baseball promotion source. While other organizations take a national approach, our goal is to become the authoritative voice on the ground level of each state.

2024 OUTLOOK

”​​After losing 8 starting seniors from the 2023 season we have a lot of positions to fill for the 2024 season. We think our underclassmen and specifically our incoming junior class will help us fill a majority of those spots. We have very big goals for the 2024 season as we look to compete in the section and be a strong team that can hopefully make a run in sections and make the state tournament.” - Tom Fairbanks, Head Coach
