2014 National Showcase
Blakely Brown is a 2015 RHP/MIF with a 6-1 175 lb. frame from Statesboro, GA who attends Statesboro HS. Live bodied athletic build, room to get stronger. Athletic delivery, high 3/4's arm slot, gets loaded on his back side and accelerates to the plate, some energy at release, repeats his mechanics well and maintains his stuff. Steady low 90's fastball, topped out at 92 mph, gets big late life on his fastball at times, challenges with his fastball, ball gets on the hitter quickly. Flashed a hard upper 70's curveball with hard spin and bite, potential plus pitch, tended to slow arm with less power and spin on the pitch, best curveballs at higher velocities. Has a feel for his change up with good fading life. Mixes pitches well and throws strikes. Two way prospect, nice actions in the middle infield, good range and quickness, 7.02 runner, big arm strength with plus carry on long throws, soft hands out front fielding. Righthanded hitted, hand hitch load, stays on his back side during swing, no shift to contact, front side opens early, some raw bat speed but needs adjustments to realize hitting potential. Good student, verbal commitment to Georgia.
