Blackledge was a strong performer at the Central Coast Summer ID and West Coast Super Sophomore Games in 2025, but this was my first look at him during the high school season. Where the athletically built middle of the diamond defender stands out the most at present is in the RH batter's box. He employs a coiled load with a small leg lift to get him on his backside before using an athletic forward move to the launch position. Blackledge showed sound feel to get to launch on time or early, which allowed him to track pitches effectively and hunt the opportunity to swing, which he does with a hitterish intent. The swing itself sequences well from a taller posture that is geared for middle of the field leverage, but can loft the ball towards the pull side and use the whole field. His hands stay back well and are loose during the turn to give him adjustability and quality bat to ball at present, with some barrel awareness. The results on the day for Blackledge weren’t loud, but the process for the rising sophomore gave me plenty of confidence in his ability to be a long-term top of the order profile hitter. He shows athletic actions on the dirt with the ability to range laterally, come downhill quickly, and play with tempo, but there is some consistency that will need to be polished as he got stuck in between on a grounder right at him for an E-4. In totality, Blackledge is a quality name to start following in the 2028 class.
