Michigan Scouting Director and Editor in Chief/Scout
From now until the start of the 2015 season, Prep Baseball Report Michigan will bring you in-depth team previews throughout the entire state. If your coach has not filled out the survey please have him do so through this link.
Along with the team previews, the 2015 Team Rankings will be releasing sometime late February and we hope to bring a Q&A session to discuss the rankings.
Also, we will be releasing the preseason All Michigan Teams sometime in early March.
