Braden Blundell: C/1B, (2021) Owasso, OK. 6-foot-2, 185-pound sturdy frame. At the plate, Blundell recorded an exit velocity of 85 mph.

Gap to gap approach. While catching, recorded pop times of 2.01-2.16, his best throw downs of the day reached a max velocity of 79 mph; has a clean exchange, consistent feet and sure hands. Some flexibility and clean setup.Throws from an-over-the-top slot. Recorded a time of 7.95 in the 60-yard dash.

A 6-foot-2, 185-pound proportional frame. Offensively, physical right-handed catcher hits from a balanced setup, fills out the right handed batters box with good presence. Easy, fluid actions in the box, small quiet load and stride to hit, leaks to the front side to swing, more length and power in the lower half to come. Hands stay neutral off the back shoulder, drives the baseball with some lift, middle of the field. In BP, shows a middle to opposite field and flat approach with some barrels, 79 mph exit velo. Runs a 7.90 60. Defensively, sits low in primary stance to receive baseball with quiet glove, shows average hip flexibility. Secondary stance is tall to catch and throw, gets on balls of feet, stands tall to throw after catch. On throws down, feet have good direction to second base, single hand catch to throw with average transfer time and release, upright at release with short stride. High OT slot with some accuracy at 74 mph for showcase pop times of 2.15 - 2.19.
