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.

2020 OUTLOOK:
“This could end up being the best team I've coached in 7 years. In my opinion, this is a top 5 ranked team in class 1A. We return 8 starters from a 27 win team and 6 of our top 7 pitchers. We led class 1A in team hits in 2019. This is a team ready to get to state and make a run at the title.” Head Coach Tom Joecken
