Inaugural Midwest Select Announced


PBR Staff

Prep Baseball Report is excited to announce the inaugural PBR Midwest Select. This invite-only tournament will consist of top teams and programs from Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Ohio. The event dates will be April 13-14 and all games will be played at Grand Park in Westfield, IN.

“The PBR Midwest Select will give programs and athletes in the region an opportunity to showcase their baseball talent,” National Supervisor Nathan Rode said. “Much of the spring season is highlighted by warm weather states, but there is excellent baseball to be seen in the Midwest. This event will hopefully bring attention to the great competition and atmosphere that high school baseball creates.”

Each team will play two or three games in a round-robin format. Teams will be playing for state pride, as they will go up against others from surrounding states.

In the weeks leading up to the event, PBR will release detailed information on the participating teams. The following teams make up the inaugural PBR Midwest Select:
