Who is the Amateur Baseball Report?
The Amateur Baseball Report (ABR) is a joint venture between ABW Sports and Prep Baseball Report (PBR). The ABR is supported and nationally endorsed by USSSA (United States Specialty Sports Association) Baseball
What is the Amateur Baseball Report (ABR)?
The Amateur Baseball Report (ABR) was developed to provide youth baseball participants the opportunity to gain national exposure and recognition through the orchestration of ABR events and media content. Through our Premier Player Ranking System, we provide individuals the ability to track national player progress and individual standings and offer constructive feedback on specific areas of the game.
With the involvement of USSSA (youth baseball's largest sanctioning body) and USA Baseball programs, the ABR stands alone as the only comprehensive exposure vehicle available to kids today. The serious baseball player and family now have the ability to gain premier level content derived from renowned industry specialists including current players, scouts, and coaches.
What is the ABR Magazine?
The ABR magazine is a youth driven (9U-18U) National Baseball magazine. The magazine incorporates instructional & educational pieces for parents and coaches written by renowned industry specialists, Q&A segments for coaches, USSSA league coverage, USSSA & ABR tournaments/showcase events, USA Baseball 14U NTIS event coverage, featured player journals, and premier player rankings.
Our Mission:
The mission of the Amateur Baseball Report (ABR) is to provide a product that serves as the ultimate source for baseball knowledge and entertainment, while recognizing the accomplishments of players and teams that have participated in USSSA and ABR events; and provide an objective Player Ranking System Nationwide. The ABR will not only unify USSSA and youth Baseball on a National level, but will become the prominent exposure vehicle available to youth baseball; thus distinguishing itself from any other youth baseball magazine.
“The Amateur Baseball Report is the next step in the evolution of USSSA Baseball. USSSA Baseball has always strived to bring innovative and fresh approaches to youth baseball. The ABR will enhance the players’ and parents’ experience with USSSA; along with providing much needed education about the game we all love.”
