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 return a lot of experience on the mound and at the plate from last year's summer team. We'll need some young arms to step up and fill some of the innings we lost, but the guys have been working hard this offseason to build off our success last summer. " - Troy Charf, Head Coach
