Calvin Blish RHP/1B (Elmira HS, NY 2015)

8-16-14
Blish stands 6-foot-2 205-pounds with room to add some weight. On the mound he uses a high knee lift and drops and drives hard on his back side. His arm action is a touch funky, very short, but it works for him. He throws from a high ¾ slot with a head turn on release. He has great hand speed and extension on his pitches and finishes strong out in front of his body. His fastball sat consistently 87-89 mph with deception and late action. His curveball was 71 mph with gradual 11/5 shape.

1B/Hitting - Blish has a very low, crouched stance, but still generates some serious pop and a well above average exit velocity up to 94 mph. He uses a back load, leg lift and stride before the pitch, bat path is slightly inclined with a shoulder high finish. Blish recently verbally committed to Cortland State..

Blish stands 6-foot-2 205 pounds and impressed at our June 21st event. He swings a quick, strong, bat (94 mph tee exit velo) showing pull power and good contact. At first he moves well and has a strong accurate arm. Off the mound Blish sat 86-88 mph with a nice 12/6 shape curveball that ranged 71-75. His mechanics are a touch funky but it works for him. There is more in the tank when Blish figures out his mechanics.
