Austin Blake - IF/P |

Coach Partin on Blake: "Blake is a versatile defender. He can handle all 3 infield spots and he's got arm strength too. He can even hop on the mound and pump strikes for us. We really love Blake's ability to juice the baseball from the right-side. He's got a chance to lead our club in doubles this summer. Quick bat, and he can really cause damage with the bat. This guy works hard and has made himself a very good baseball player. Make-up is through the roof. We're excited to watch Blake excel this summer."
