    Blaze would definitely start. He can play 3B, 1B, DH, and even LF. He has a strong arm. We are talking about an elite power tool. He reclassified. Just needs AB's.

    You're not understanding the magnitude of his issue.

    He can hit a CB... he just doesn't hit them at a level yet that would make a team feel comfortable giving him $2 mil. He'll be fine in college baseball
    CAN'T PUT A SADDLE ON A MUSTANG

    Quit Your Bi$&$&?!, He's Not Going to Run the Ball More

    he can't play 3rd, but yes, he'd start & hit a bunch of HRs

    This. It may take the kid a little time to adjust to SEC pitching, but he has the tools if he puts in the proper work.

    Agree to disagree. He has the arm, 92 mph fastball. He has the athleticism now that he has changed his body. He has a very good glove. He's worked hard on his defense.

    This Blaze Jordan ?can not hit a curve ball? is being blown way out of proportion. Reclassifying ended up backfiring on him. You are talking about a kid that did not get a JR or SR season of baseball because he reclassified and Covid. Basically the last time he was seen facing elite curveballs was just after his sophomore season. He needed this summer in front of scouts to get back in the first round. If he comes to State, he will be an immediate impact starter. Based on the results of last nights draft it shows going to college pays off. And yes he is athletic enough to play 3rd.

    Blaze is in kind of a weird position being only 17. If he decides to come to State he would have to stay for three years, he wouldn't be old enough to get drafted after two like Ginn. So that makes you worry some that he might decide to take the JUCO route and try to re-enter the draft next year.

    I'm sure it all depends on what his number is and where he gets drafted.

    Anyone that goes the JUCO route to get in the draft early isn't paying attention to the draft and baseball landscape.

    You're better off playing in the SEC for three years financially and professionally.

    You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Todd4State again.

    Mets have to think they can sign him. You don't draft a draft eligible sophomore who's already turned down money like Ginn in the first half of round 2 of a 5 round draft unless you feel confident you can sign him.
