Prep Baseball Report Minnesota
Prep Baseball Report works to provide the most comprehensive coverage of prep baseball in the state of Minnesota. In doing so it has become hard not to recognize Jack Sievers. Jack has patrolled the outfield for Shakopee High School for the past two seasons, seasons in which Shakopee has been on the brink of emerging from one of the state’s toughest sections and making a state tournament appearance. Off the field Jack can usually be found doing something baseball related. Whether working/taking reps at Starters Sports Training or in the wright room at school, he’s a gym rat with a + baseball I.Q. that will be an asset to whichever school he ends up at. We want to wish Jack the best of luck in the rest of his recruiting process, and to the Shakopee Sabers in the upcoming spring!
