He doesn’t have true position projection at the MLB level as of now, but his bat will have him gone early in the 1st round. He’s in the top 3 ranked HS players in the country in nearly every list I’ve seen.


He reclassified to this year and there is absolutely no way he goes top of the first round

Blaze Jordan. Look it up. Sports Illustrated wrote an article on him and there have been a few videos on youtube


First heard about him 4 years ago.

Kid is projected as going high in 1st round if not #1 in the June draft.

Nobody was better at recruiting gorilla ballers than Paul Mainieri. When the new bats went into effect he was dead in the water.

Im sure he's a great player and destined for the big leagues but 500ft with a wooden bat at 15? I doubt it.

I believe him. Prince Fielder blasted one into the upper deck of Tiger Stadium (Detroit) at 12 years old.

Funny coming from a Bama fan. Can’t remember y’all doing jack shite in baseball since we crushed your dreams in the 97 CWS.

No he's not. He will probably get picked in the 2nd to 3rd round. He is a bat first 1B with a bad body and no room for projection. His power isnt even that special for his draft class.

MLB.com
#53 overall

Fangraphs
#77 overall

You are correct, not sure what link I read or more likely misread.

He should go first rd/early 2nd @ the latest though. Signability can only explain the #53-#77 projections you linked.

17 year olds with his bat speed & power are very rare.
