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.

2022 OUTLOOK:
“We will be a team with limited varsity experience but very well rounded in baseball knowledge, having played a lot of baseball at younger levels.  We will play great defense and throw strikes on the mound.  Our offense will have to find its grove early for us to reach our lofty team goals.  The growth of our team from March to May will be fun for everyone to watch.”
Joe Alexander, Minnewaska Area Head Coach
