Blair

Blair displays a tall, athletic frame; at 6-foot-4, 180-pounds, he sticks out amongst his peers. A member of the Canadian Junior National Team and 2024 Future Games Alumni, Blair posted the highest fastball velocity of the day with a smooth and easy 89.4 MPH. On the positional side, the Eagles product showed athleticism and a strong arm, leading the event at 89 MPH. In the box, Blair worked up to a max exit velocity of 96.2, the highest we have seen from him at an event. One of the top uncommitted prospects in the Province, don’t expect Blair to stay on the board much longer.

Considered one of the top ‘26 two-way prospects pon the west coast, Blair flashed a high-ceiling both on the mound and in the box. Standing at an XL 6-foot-4, 185-pounds, blair put on one of the top workout days for the Canadian squad running a 6.99, pulling down 88 mph from the OF, and took a good final round of BP with a 95.1 mph EV, 87.8 mph avg EV, and 329ft max distance. On the mound, Blair is still green and doesn’t have the innings under his belt, but he showed well against a strong Midwest lineup working two strong innings. Over-the-top arm action with some ride up in the zone and a curveball when thrown in the 75-77 range, has sharp downward break and misses bats in the zone and out of the zone. Good overall showing from Blair who made a name for himself at the Future Games.

Blair was one of the biggest winners at the BC Select Camp as the 6-foot-3, 185-pound two-way talent ran his fastball up to 90mph while also flashing upside on the positional side. Oozes projection and has the early showings of a player who could make an impact on either side at the next level. The right-handed hitter comes with power projection, sub-7.00 60-time and a strong arm in the outfield (91mph). On the mound, the Victoria Eagles product sat 85-88mph, generating swing/miss, and paired it with a breaking ball at 70-73mph. With tools across the board and two-way abilities, Blair should draw plenty of interest from college coaches later this month at the Future Games.

Blair has solidified himself as one of BC’s most intriguing two-way players. The 2026 OF/RHP has every tool necessary to play at the highest level. With a 6-foot-3, 180-pound athletic frame, he is an efficient route runner combined with a 91 mph arm from the OF and 6.93 60-yard dash. At the plate, he utilizes his long levers to maximize his swing path producing EV’s upwards of 94 mph. Following the Island event, Blair added a pair of homeruns this past weekend, continuing to showcase that he is one of the top hitters in BCJPBL. On the mound, the RHP has an over the top delivery that creates tilt and carry on his fastball at 85 mph. The Victoria Eagle is a definite threat in all aspects of the game and a must follow for years to come.

The 2026 is one of the most intriguing two-way players in BC. On the mound he showcased a FB/CB mix. With a fluid arm action his fastball topped 82.5mph. The fastball has plenty of life complimented by a delayed bite in his curveball. Defensively, Blair is an efficient route runner with elite instincts. The long, wiry build displayed a quick, strong swing that plays to both gaps. With Blair’s athleticism, doubles will quickly turn into triples. A definite up and coming 2026 to watch in BC.
