PBR Minnesota 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.

PBR: Why did you choose the school you did?

PBR: What other schools were you considering?
Amelse: Century
PBR: Where did the coaching staff first see you? How did your relationship develop with him?
Amelse: I first saw him on campus when I visited. Harvey Martin said he thought the school would be a good fit for me and I loved it.
PBR: Do you feel relieved now that the process is over and you can just focus on baseball and not deal with everything that goes into picking a school?
Amelse: Yes, it's nice to know where I’m going next year for my education and where I’m going to play baseball. It feels really relieving.
PBR: Was there one deciding factor that put your choice over the top?
Amelse: The Coach was a lot like my Dad I thought that’s what separated the schools.

PBR: What were your expectations about the recruiting process? Was it easy/difficult?
Amelse: It was just about finding the right academic fit for me and the baseball was a bonus. It was pretty easy for me.
