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.

2021 OUTLOOK:
“Coming off a strong '20 season I believe there's  an understanding of what needs to be done now to be successful. We have a lot of talent coming back and upcoming. Pitching should be our strength with three returning starters. Even with the loss of Jake Willkomm I believe we still have one of the fastest outfields in the state if not the fastest. I think we are ready for another strong run.” Head Coach Shawn Dierickx
