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:
“Coming off our 2nd season in a row that we've fallen in the Section Championship we should be in the conversation again this season after only graduating 2 starters from last season's squad. Our rotation is experienced and lead by NDSU recruit Ben Smith. We'll need to figure out 4-7 on our staff. Offensively we'll need our returning sophomores and other newcomers to make strides offensively for us to take the next step.” Head Coach Dan Cosgrove
