Prep Baseball Report is proud to announce the winners of the PBR State Players of the Year. With its boots-on-the-ground scouting staff, PBR provides coverage of high school baseball at the state level unlike anyone else can. The scouting directors have intimate knowledge of the players in their state and who had the greatest impact.

This year’s list has 41 winners, 20 of which were selected in the 2019 Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft. That includes SS C.J. Abrams (Blessed Trinity Catholic HS, GA), the sixth overall pick, and three other first-round picks in 3B Brett Baty (Lake Travis HS, TX; 12th overall to the New York Mets), OF Corbin Carroll (Lakeside School, WA; 16th overall to the Arizona Diamondbacks) and LHP Blake Walston (New Hanover HS, NC; 26th overall to the Arizona Diamondbacks).

The Prep Baseball Report staff has been diligently scouting and covering games at diamonds across the country this spring to bring parents, athletes and fans the most comprehensive coverage of amateur baseball. The PBR State Player of the Year represents an athlete who stood above the competition in terms of their on-field production, and all-around effect on their high school program. The athlete will also be a great representation of their state with their positive character qualities, and positive impact as a teammate.

Prep Baseball Report will announce an overall First Team All-PBR on June 18, in which the Prep Baseball Report staff will choose a list of athletes who were top at their respective position. These athletes will not necessarily be derived from the state player of the year awards. We will also announce an overall PBR Player of the Year award on June 19, at which time the Prep Baseball Report staff will choose one player who shined brighter than the rest.

The Prep Baseball Report is the No. 1 resource for high school baseball in each state we cover through our boots-on-the-ground scouting staff, variety of events, daily coverage and multimedia platforms. Our platforms work in tandem, ultimately creating the most powerful source of high school baseball coverage in each state. The Prep Baseball Report scouting staff covers the state at all levels year-round, and is constantly in contact with high school coaches, college coaches and pro scouts.  For more information and stats on these individual award winners, please visit their state specific page on PrepBaseballReport.com.

It is important to note that the State Player of the Year honors only the states that our boots-on-the-ground scouting staff are currently in.
