Jack Bland is a 2026 3B with a solid, 6-foot-1, 185-pound frame that carries present strength and room for more. The left-handed hitter flashes above average bat speed in a short, on-plane swing that works with some strength through impact—evidenced by a 96 mph max exit velocity and 89.3 average. Defensively, Bland shows a strong 86 mph arm across the infield and moves with solid body control. A 7.07 runner with a 21.4” vertical, there’s athleticism to pair with the offensive upside.
