01/29/2017 - National Tryout Plus - Mechanicsburg (Harrisburg), PA Blaine continues to show improvements in his baseball abilities. At the plate, hitting/power potential have improved through an open setup. Hands are quick and work through a level swing path. He works to stay inside the ball, utilizing all fields through a line drive approach. Behind the plate, feet are active as he gains ground and works through a clean/transfer exchange as he gets rid of the baseball quickly. Pop times have improved as he threw his lowest time to date at 2.21. Times will continue to drop as he builds more arm strength through a long toss program. Hands are soft as he lets the ball travel and tracks well, sticking it in the zone. He uses his body well through the blocking process but needs to work to get down quicker and create better angles to improve grade. With 3 years to further develop, Blaine has abilities with time and room to progress his game.
