PBR Iowa 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:
“Making the state semi-finals in our first year as a program, was a strong start. Heading into our second year this team is just as hungry to make it back to the state tournament. We have the pieces to have a successful year. Our program is established, our players are working hard, and they are excited to make a run at a state championship. It will be an exciting year for Wolves baseball!"
