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

”We have to replace a talented senior class that led us last year, but after a VFW trip to state (finishing 4th) we are optimistic that people will step in and fill our missing positions. Carter Gwost should be an imposing figure on the mound, coming from the left side, and we will have a strong set of arms in our rotation once again.” - Chad Kaddatz, Head Coach
