PBR Nebraska 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:

"We have several good hitters returning from last season. On defense, we have lots of guys who will be competing for spots. Our pitching staff has a variety of players that we will use throughout the season. Several pitchers got some varsity experience last year, but their roles may change. There will be several role players with opportunities to contribute" - Scott Hesse, Head Coach
