Fastball
Hop+
A fastball with hop has a flat approach angle and visually jumps through the zone. When thrown up in the zone, it is more likely to generate a higher swing and miss average. Hop+ of 100 is MLB average.
Fastball
Sink+
A fastball with sink has low backspin and drops through the strike zone. When thrown down in the zone, it is more likely to generate a higher ground ball percentage and lower launch angle. Sink+ of 100 is MLB average.
Fastball
Rise+
A fastball with rise has a high percentage of backspin. When thrown up in the zone, it is more likely to generate a higher fly ball percentage. Rise+ of 100 is MLB average

5-foot-10, 165-pound mature frame. In the box, Blackburn recorded an exit velocity of 82 mph. Started in a balanced stance and had a controlled stride. Bat speed is explosive, uses rotational swing plane and good extension on his finish. He found multiple barrels during his round. Pull side approach. Fluid in the outfield, his best throws to the infield topped out at 81 mph. Showed an-over-the-top slot and a long arm action with consistent accuracy to the base. Recorded a time of 7.19 in the 60-yard dash. On the mound, has a ¾ arm angle and a very quick arm action. Has an athletic finish. Changeup (67-68 mph).Threw his fastball 77-78 mph and topped out at 79 mph; showed running action and glove side command. Throws his sharp curveball (63-64) with very consistent command.
Young ‘22 grad that impressed on the mound from the left side. Was up to 79 mph with the FB that showed typical ASR from a left hander. Did a nice job repeating his delivery and hid the ball well from hitters. The breaking ball shows “over the top” action with depth at 58-60 mph. The changeup was thrown from the same arm speed with tumble in the low 60’s. Sub 7.0 runner (6.94) and showed an open stance at the plate from the left side and a high leg kick approach that he used to show some juice off the barrel mainly to the pull side. The hands show some athleticism. Did a nice job getting to the glove side during OF drills and showed a quick transfer with an accurate arm at 78 mph.
