Jayce Blalock, OF, Trinity Christian (GA), 2022
Georgia Tech commit. 5-foot-10, 195-pound right-handed hitting outfielder, advanced strength in frame, strong lower half. Middle, pull hitter with a power approach, looks to do damage every time he steps to the plate, controlled aggression. Balanced setup, gets into a power position as hands load back and cock the barrel, big leg kick timing trigger, explosive lower half. Generates easy bat speed and consistent hard contact. Left the yard twice on Sunday morning, both to the pull-side.
‘22 OF Jayce Blalock (@FSPTCRecruiting; #GT) coils up and UNLOADS for his 2nd HR in as many ABs this morning, 99 EV. An explosive hitter, packs a lot of strength in his frame. @PBRGeorgia @ShooterHunt #SGG21 #PBRBombSquad pic.twitter.com/MuJryupz7g
