PBR NorCal Uncommitted Senior Games: Catcher Profile
Slender, lean-muscled and athletic build; space in the frame to keep adding strength to it which would benefit the profile. Wide stance with slight squat keeping a high back elbow and the hands deep with a wiggle; tightens hands as he gains some ground with the stride. The compact swing worked in time focused to the oppo gap with some lift through the zone; times where the barrel gets pushed limiting his strength that way. Low and agile target understanding how to use his footwork well; arm is timed up well allowing the ball to come out on a line to 2nd (74 MPH, 2.04-2.19 Pop). Agility showed up with blocking in game and recovery skills during showcase drills. During the games Blakely was good with his catching skills being able to block pitches and working with multiple pitchers. Offensively showed strong AB’s working counts and being right on pitches without any hits to show.
at BAWS 2018 - Lean and wiry body type on this 5-foot-11 140-pound young catcher. High hands with high back elbow from slightly open. Easy load with strong balance in swing. Looks to keep hands inside ball and regularly had times where he hit ball through 3/4 hole. Average arm with average footwork; accurate with throws and regularly on the bag (2.16-2.18 Pop). Solid present receiving skills and all-around tools are there to keep an eye on him.
