Andrew
Blake

Hopewell Valley/Flemington Scout Day (June 17, 2017)

Long, lanky frame at 6-foot-3, 165-pounds. Has a good frame with potential to fill out. Blair ran an average 60-yard dash time of 7.37 seconds. Showcased as a shortstop who had an infield velocity of 78 MPH. At the plate Blake showed a balanced stance with a quick load and fast bat speed. His bat path with was short and level with a stiff and un balanced finish. Good frame can grow into body.

Summer 2020: The Northwoods League can be tough on hitters who have just finished their freshman season, but the long-limbed Blake more than held his own playing everyday at shortstop for the Booyah. Currently batting .252 with four home runs in 155 at-bats the 6-foot-4, 185-pound right-handed hitter has length to his swing and leveraged over-the-fence power to his pull side. However, he’s learning to drive the other way and flashed an ability for hard contact to the opposite field during game action with a pair of line outs and a long sac fly to right field. An above average runner underway, Blake also possesses good base running instincts. He’s currently 14-for-17 in the stolen base department. Defensively, he has a tendency to stay back on ground balls and rely on his arm strength to make plays, but he does have athletic feet and dependable hands. With his long frame he profiles best to third base in the future. As a 2018 high school graduate who attended prep school in 2019, Blake is sophomore-eligible for the 2021 draft.
