2/22/14: 6-foot-3, 235 pound sophomore possesses a strong lower half.  Pitches from a high 3/4 slot with average arm speed.  Wraps his arm on the backside. Displayed some rhythm in the delivery.

2/23/13: Bloom is a 6-foot-2, 225-pound RHP/3B who has an advanced body with a wide base.  His fastball was consistently 85 mph and showcased to be a true right-handed power pitcher with a heavy fastball.  For a freshman he showed the ability to spin the breaking ball well. With continued development and maturity, Bloom has a chance to be a high-end power pitcher in the coming years.  He is a definite follow in the 2016 class and it will be exciting to see where his velocity will end up as he moves through the high school ranks.  At the event we only saw Bloom pitch, however, we’ve had many reports that he handles the bat really well too.  He projects to hit in the middle of Seymour’s lineup this spring.
