With the 2017 spring season right around the corner, PBR North Carolina is anticipating a great spring.  This is the first year of coverage for PBR during the high school season.  In the coming weeks and months, PBR will report on games, players, conference races and the state tournament.  It is the aim of PBR North Carolina to become your #1 source for high school baseball.

PBR worked to reach out to every team in the state.  A full team preview will be released on every team that filled out the preseason questionnaire sent by PBR.  If you are a coach and haven't filled out your 2017 Team Preview – CLICK HERE

What to Watch For:

Offensively the Mustangs expect to produce runs.  A good mix of speed and power with a deep lineup that returns seven.  Defensively, a solid group that has experience across the infield, behind the dish, and in center field.  ECU commit Alec Burleson will be asked to carry the pitching staff until some younger arms get comfortable.
