Commitment To Miami Won't Change Blackmore

VAN WERT - Making a college commitment is not going to change Lawson Blackmore.

“It’s definitely a relief, but it was stressful toward the end,” the incoming Van Wert senior said about deciding on Miami as his school of choice for the future. “Other than that, I’m the same. I’m still going to work out every morning at 7 a.m. and keep working and growing my game.”

Electing to attend the Mid-American Conference college did not come without a lot of thought for the number three unsigned 2019 right-handed pitcher in the state.

“It was a long decision, something I’ve been thinking about for a long while,” Blackmore explained. “I took a visit there three times and loved it. I loved the campus, I loved the coaches and the feel of the team … I love it.

“The weight room and the facilities were amazing. What really stood out was that the coaches genuinely care about you growing, both as a person and as an athlete.”

There is a lot about the 46th-ranked player in Ohio’s senior class that stood out for Miami.

“They like my projectability. I’m almost 6-5 now and I can put on some weight,” noted the 205-pounder. “They’re excited to see me in the future and see me grow.”

But there is more than just size that is attractive with Blackmore.
