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.

2023 OUTLOOK:

"We are excited to see what this team can do this year. We have a nice mix of returners from last year's championship team, some players from last summer's legion team, a new transfer and talented players from our younger levels. It will be interesting to compare our pitching rotation and batting lineup at beginning of the year to our rotation and lineup at the end of the year." - Steve Frey, Head Coach
