Been hitting the ball really well this summer. Hard work is paying off at the plate. @GradumGswing @BJUBaseball

[jblanco2025 @jaden_blanco7]

Hopped back on the bump today, up to 88.4 @ArmoryFlorida #roadto90 #catcher #velo @BJUBaseball

Another great weekend of summer ball. Seeing the ball really well, went 3 for 6 this weekend with 2 doubles and continuing to steal strikes to help my pitchers. @Florida_PG

[jblanco2025 @jaden_blanco7]

Hopped on the mound for the first time in a couple of years. Looking to work my way to 90 @ArmoryFlorida

Honored to play in the 2025 Cure All Stars Baseball game tonight. Had a ton of fun and blessed to play with some of the best guys in Orange and Seminole County.

Excited and blessed to be continuing my academic and baseball career at Bob Jones University. Thankful and grateful to all those who helped me and believed in me along the way, especially my parents. Go Bruins! @BJUBruins

Another W against Cypress Creek this year. Good team effort all around.

Little Sunday catch and throw with my brother @kblanco2027

Discussion
It's now incredibly common, for amateur catchers to steal more strikes from their pitchers with over framing, than strikes they get for them, with framing.
They do too much.
They have too much movement with the body and glove.
Some of the best catching advice I've heard was from Leo Mazzone. He said knees should be even and level, feet even, and very little movement. He wanted his catchers to be as still and subtle as possible and give a still target with the body and glove.

[jblanco2025 @jaden_blanco7]

Lots of good swing today @GradumGswing

[jblanco2025 @jaden_blanco7]

Always got my pitcher’s back!

[jblanco2025 @jaden_blanco7]

Fun win against Foundation Academy today. 1 for 3 at the plate and 2 runners caught stealing on the day.

[jblanco2025 @jaden_blanco7]

Put together really good at bats this week with a couple doubles, a hand full of walks and RBI’s.

[jblanco2025 @jaden_blanco7]

1 for 2 last night with 2 RBIs and 3 walks in another tough loss to a good East River team. Working hard to continue to have a good eye at the plate

[jblanco2025 @jaden_blanco7]

A double, a walk and hard work behind the plate to help @kblanco2027 record 3 SO’s last night. Tough loss to a great Winter Park team in 11 innings.

[Kellen Blanco @kblanco2027]

Came in for an inning of relief tonight against Davenport High School. Recorded 2 SO’s, no walks and 1 ER.
