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.

Just a quick note on Rob and PBR.  I wished I would have done PBR in my Sophomore and Junior years, to see my improvement and development. They have done a great job in hosting my web page and videos. Schools have demanded this from players and it is the route they are all heading. Schools travel budgets get cut so they have to recruit more on line. PBR has made it easy to be seen by LOTS of schools... THANK YOU
