Starting with the launch of PBR Nebraska in February,  high school season, through regional and national summer showcases and tournaments, the Nebraska legion season, and culminating with the Prep Baseball Report Future Games in early August, our boots-on-the-ground scouting staff has seen a dizzying amount of baseball players to accumulate information to be the #1 resource for high school baseball information in the state of Nebraska.

With the new year approaching we decided to take a look back through our 2016 showcases and list the top statistical performances from the year.
