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.

2019 OUTLOOK
"We're very fortunate again this year to have a lot of nice kids that we think will work hard throughout the course of the summer which should give us a chance to compete well. We are hoping to use last year's experience of playing in the state tournament to our advantage. When you look at the landscape of last year's 3A state tournament field it's made up of a lot of Division I players, other scholarship-type players, that's typically not how we're built, we have to do the little things correctly to have a chance to compete at that level. This summer will be no exception to that. We are looking forward to that challenge. We look forward to these seniors filling the leadership void left by last year's great seniors." Head Coach Casey Klunder
