Unsigned Senior Spotlight: OF Rashad Blount
April 15, 2020
Our goal at Prep Baseball Report is to promote high school players, and give them the exposure they need to be able to play at the next level. With the 2020 high school season in limbo, we want to continue to be able to promote players, even when baseball is not being played. This spring, we will be spotlighting several uncommitted seniors to help them get the exposure they need to play at the next level in 2021.
Next up is uncommitted 2020 OF Rashad Blount (Booker T. Washington). Blount is an athletic outfielder at 6-foot-1, 181 pounds. He stood out at multiple PBR showcases this past summer.
