The Inland Empire based Blanton came out to Orange County and put together quite an impressive showing with his overall tool set. Blanton checked in at 5'10 172.6 lbs. for the event showing grip strength over the average 120 lbs. for both hands during grip testing. An athletic OF profile his 87 MPH OF arm velocity was tops in attendance showing both carry and accuracy on his throws to third base and home plate during the OF defensive workout that gives him potential for CF/RF long term. Blanton's Blast Motion metrics were strong across the board including a top three hand speeds up to 22.8 MPH while averaging 21.1 MPH and one of the top rotational acceleration readings at 21.6 Gs of rotational acceleration in attendance. Blanton's ability to rotate at a high rate with quality hand speeds generating one of the top five max exit velocities in attendance (96.8 MPH) with a 57% hard hit rate while putting nearly 60% of his balls in play in the air (fly ball/line drive rate) with a gap to gap doubles and pull side power in his profile including a 351' pull side HR. An uncommitted Sr. OF with strong present tools Blanton is a high quality follow for the 2026 recruiting class.
