PBR Minnesota 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.

2018 OUTLOOK:
“If we can stay healthy and continue to develop as a team we should be fighting for a spot at the top of the always tough West Central Conference and Section 3AA. Top teams in the conference this year should be Sauk Centre, BOLD, and Melrose. Top Section teams will be Paynesville, NL-S, Morris, and Montevideo from the area. The South Half of our section has perennial contenders in Pipestone, Windom, Jackson County Central and Redwood Valley. We are lucky to have many talented athletes that enjoy playing sports with each other and are highly successful on and off the field!!” Head Coach Brian Gruber
