6/21/16 6-foot-2, 170-pound prospect. This guy has a lot of tools to work with. Blake is a good athlete with an ideal frame. Ran an impressive 4.37 from home to first. He is fairly simple mechanically at the plate and just lets his strength and batspeed go to work. His flat path allowed him to find the barrel frequently. Has gap to gap pop at this stage with power potential to come with maturity. Top exit velocity was 94 mph. In the outfield he checks all the boxes and tools are above average across the board. Threw accurately and on target with 82 mph arm strength. Good player.
2/15/16 6-foot-1, 170-pound prospect. Blake is a very good athlete and a possible two-way guy at the next level. At the plate he showed excellent strength and batspeed through the zone using a simple approach. He was consistently able to produce hard contact and showed some power potential to his pull side. Reached a top exit velocity of 90 mph. In the outfield he used athletic footwork and showed the ability to play through the ball maintaining momentum into his throws. From an over the top slot he threw with impressive, 86 mph arm strength to home plate Ran a 4.41 from home to first. Intriguing on the mound. Long arm action and shows some quickness out of a high ¾ slot. Delivery shows some effort to it. Good, quick tempo. Fastball typically sat at 80-81 mph. Demonstrated command with some arm side run. Changeup showed similar movement at 71-73 mph in the zone. Breaking ball had tight spin at 67-69 mph but tended to be up in the zone.
