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.

2022 OUTLOOK:
“We are very excited for the group if players we have returning and the guys that will be stepping into starting roles or bigger roles this season. We lost 6 quality baseball players from last year, but we feel we have a group of guys that can compete to replace them. We still have question marks in the OF and at a couple of positions as far as who fits in where, but we have guys that can play and it will just be a matter of putting the pieces together.” Head Coach Derek Flack
