Gulfport, MS -  The Mississippi High School Baseball season is well underway with quality matchups occuring daily. Last week the Prep Baseball Report had the chance to watch several intriguing players from across the state. Included in today’s Mississippi Scout Blog are notes on several players we caught in action this past week.

Blake Johnson, C/RHP, Gulfport, 2018
Johnson displayed has quality arm strength behind the plate with accuracy on the bag, recorded sub 2.00 pop times the entire game including a 1.89 in game (shown in video). Received ball with soft hands, also displayed athleticism working into blocking position. Right-handed hitter displayed a simple repeatable swing with present strength and the ability to make consistent hard contact. Finished the game 1-for-4 but hit several balls hard including his only hit that was a homerun to left-center field.
