Official Scouting Report

  • Class Rating
  • OF/RHPPosition Projection

07/31/2012 - Baseball Factory Select Training at Vero Beach Blanchard showed as an OF/RHP at the event but currently projects best in the OF for the next level. Foot speed has improved as he ran his best 60 time to date. He takes proper routes / angles in tracking down balls and works to get behind balls. Throws are accurate as he gets rid of the ball quickly but needs to build more arm strength through a long toss program. At the plate, Eriq shows an athletic setup with balance. Hands are quick, flashing bat speed through a level path and showing life in his swing. He works to stay inside the ball, utilizing all fields and shows a solid feel for the barrel with the baseball jumping off the bat when centered. On the mound, fastball showed a range of 66-70 mph. He needs to develop off speed pitches and increase velocity to raise stock on the mound.

05/20/2012 - College PREP - New Orleans, LA Eriq is a young OF that will graduate in 2014. Feet are active as he as he takes proper routes / angles in tracking down balls as he works to get behind and plays through well. He needs to improve foot speed and quickness to continue to improve defensive grade. Throws are accurate but needs to build more arm strength and develop better footwork to throw to improve arm grade. At the plate, Blanchard shows a balanced approach and loads well. Hands are quick, flashing bat speed through a level swing path. He makes consistent contact, mainly to the pull side as he needs to work to keep hands inside the ball to utilize all fields and improve hitting grades. Power numbers will continue to improve as he learns to use his lower half more. With 2 years to further develop, Eriq has abilities with time and room to improve.

Tool Grade Scale

Our main goals with the BF "10-70" Scouting Scale are to provide the player with a realistic evaluation of his "PRESENT" abilities (what he can do today), and to provide college coaches with information they can use to identify and/or compare potential recruits.

Tools are graded for all players and pitchers, regardless of age or graduation year. However, for High School players we use only grades 20-70 (grades 10-18 do not apply), while for Middle School players we use only grades 10-52 (grades 55-70 do not apply).
