Prep Baseball Report Nebraska

PBR Nebraska 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.

"We have a veteran group this spring with 11 seniors, but we're a bit unproven offensively with only 4 returning starters. We return all but 10 innings pitched on the mound so we're hoping our pitching and defense can carry the load until we get comfortable offensively." - Head Coach Sean Bartholomew
