One of the top infielders from the day was left-handed-hitting SS/3B Jackson Bland (Batavia, 2023). Bland has a 6-foot-1, 170-pound, solid/athletic build and the ability to stick on the left side of the diamond at the next level. Bland plays with athletic, fundamental and easy actions; feet play with rhythm and tempo while staying balanced and controlled on the move. His 77 mph arm plays up due to the ease in his release and the way the ball jumps out of his hand. Offensively, he was just as impressive, standing in the box with a presence and intent throughout his round. Fluid, easy pre-pitch rhythm with a controlled leg-lift trigger and uphill, intentful swing. Bland worked on the barrel throughout his round while utilizing the middle of the field. Consider him a follow left-handed-hitting junior infielder in the state moving forward.
