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.

2022 OUTLOOK:
“We are fortunate to have a lot of experience coming back from a good team in 2021. The seniors made a commitment to doing things right everyday and let the results speak for themselves. If we can stick to that mindset then we have a lot to look forward to. The fear with experience is that players expect success without putting in the work. So there is a lot of energy and optimism around here and I'm expecting that we can use that to put together a great season.”
Jacob Howells, Centennial Head Coach
