Prep Baseball Report

The Light at the End of the Tunnel


Brett Harrison
Nevada Scouting Director

A significant announcement yesterday coming from the Governor's office regarding the re-opening of high school facilities. It now lies in the hands of CCSD Officials to give the go-ahead to resume activities. The return of baseball can be back in the very near future with the final step to getting back on the field hanging in the balance. Prospects of all ages throughout our state have been making the trip to surrounding states to get a head start on the four month shut down of all athletic actives in Nevada. This step in opening our states facilities will help keep players and families within state lines, allowing them to get back with their high school and club programs to begin the return to "normal". 

Below we have attached the key parts regarding Nevada baseball from the most recent directive from NIAA Executive Director, Bart Thompson:

Nevada Baseball is on its way back!

The PBR Nevada Rising Stars Showcase is coming Wednesday, June 24th to Desert Oasis High School. The event is open to Class of 2024 & 2025 Prospects. 

This event will have four main functions. For most participants, this will be their first showcase event - an initial step toward achieving a player’s baseball goals. Part of this event is educational. There will be a lecture about what scouts look for, how to comport themselves, what to expect in the recruiting process, and the overall landscape of playing at the next level. The second function of this event will be for players to create baseline numbers for themselves to improve.
