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.

2020 OUTLOOK:
“With 63% of the innings from last year returning in 2020, the Mustangs expect to be very good on the mound in 2020...Playing outstanding defense will always be a priority; there is obviously a strong correlation between pitching/defense and winning. We expect to be very solid in the field every year, and will strive to achieve that .950 [fielding percentage] goal again in 2020. While we have a larger number of returning varsity players than usual in 2020, we did lose some key players from the 2019 team, and we’re looking forward to competition for varsity playing time! We expect to see a number of different players earn some varsity playing time early in the season as they compete for playing time in the second half of the season and on into the Section playoffs.” Head Coach Mark Downey
