PBR Ohio started up on May 3rd, 2011 as seen here. From that day, Chris Valentine has had a goal to promote high school baseball in Ohio at the highest level possible. Chris has been able to do this thanks to the help of parents, coaches, and the talented players throughout the state of Ohio.

Chris has also built a staff that has the drive to make Ohio one of, if not the top viewed website for Prep Baseball Report as well as put on some of the best showcases in the nation to help promote the high school talent that resides in the Buckeye State.

Dylan Hefflinger, PBR Ohio Editor in Chief/NW Scout, along with Jordan Chiero, PBR Ohio Director of Scouting take a look back at the year in review and put together a list of the top stories for 2017.

Surveys and tabled votes have surrounded the Ohio High School Baseball Coaches Association proposal to extend the season two weeks.

But finally - after being discussed in June and then tabled twice - the Ohio High School Athletic Association Board of Directors took a vote at the September meeting. To the dismay of many coaches in the state (as seen below in the graph), the proposal was turned down by a 7-2 vote.
