Team Elite Academy

Blake Gillespie, RHP, Team Elite Academy, 2022
UGA commit. 6 foot 1, 185 pounds, athletic frame w/ well built lower half. One of the most talented players in the state has flown under the radar until this spring, due to playing most of his HS career in Canada. Works with purpose and innate balance in delivery. Good hip+shoulder separation & lower half mechanics. Arm swing gains momentum by loose drop out of glove, producing effortless arm speed. FB sat 91-92 throughout outing T93 w/ steep plane & violent run. 4 seam has easy carry, 2 seam gradual edge to edge run directly out of hand. Rips 74-76 CB w/ nice shape, tight rotation & depth. Very competitive & focused. The ability to hold velo late into starts, command 2 live FB's, and feel to spin have placed him on draft boards this spring.
