[Baseball University of the Blue Ridge @BBUniversityWNC]

More impressive work from 2027 OF @nateblanton934 of @RobersonRams on 9/30

Ran a 6.80 60yd Dash, continued to look confident and efficient in the OF, and rattled the fences during BP. Plays a quality IF as well, runs the bases with IQ, well coached, ceiling in all 5 tools.

Good student, has done a good job creating D3, NAIA, and JUCO interest over the past couple months.

Another good showing by 2027 OF/IF @nateblanton934 of @RobersonRams, this time at the @nextlevelbbnc Scout Day this past Sunday

Above average in all 5 tools with room for more growth. The live swing in this highlight was measured as 96 mph off the bat. Quick out the box. Disciplined baserunner, above average OF

4.4 GPA with an interest in Finance/Business. Has been seeking fits at the JUCO and D3 levels.

Nice swing here by 2027 OF/Util @nateblanton934 of @RobersonRams on 9/23 vs Hendersonville.

A very good defender, Blanton has worked hard to build his bat tool as well, flashing EVs in the 90s consistently since this past summer

2027 OF/IF @nateblanton934 of @RobersonRams is an under the radar prospect that is flashing potential in all 5 tools. Was 10th man on a loaded Rams roster, did well as a role player. Would be in the middle of a majority of Region 8 teams' lineups. Another polished, disciplined TCR prospect

7 flat runner, has some pop in the bat, very solid OF, arm strength in the low 8s, versatile, good build, high academic

Nate Blanton (2027, NC) delivers a hard-hit line drive into LF for a 2 RBI single. Got the barrel out front, stayed connected and swung with authority. #PG1718UMIDSUMMERCLASSIC

Nate Blanton (2027, NC) staying hot at the plate, sending a line-drive past the 5-6 hole. Generates high exit velocity, gets into lower half well. Keeps hands inside the ball.

2027 OF/IF @nateblanton934 of @RobersonRams is a very well-rounded ball player that can play a lot of positions and do a lot of things well for you on a baseball field.

At 5'10" 180, he's packing some strength into an athletic frame. Short strider at the plate, but gets strength out of his hips. Found some barrels and was up to 90 MPH Exit Velos on 6/10. Has XBH potential.

Footspeed is solid w/ a 7.05 60 yd dash time. He's determined to put the work into breaking sub 7. Feels most comfortable in the OF, but plays an under control and efficient IF. Good angles and footwork in the OF grass. Gets to a good throwing position quickly. Hips work well on the flyball track to get him squared up and ready to throw. Throws are on line, up to 83 MPH.

Tools are there to build around. Was 10th man on a strong TCR squad this year; will have chance to earn more offensive opportunities in 2027. Would be a middle order bat in majority of the WNC programs surrounding him. Playing for @nextlevelbbnc this Summer. High academic, 4.4 GPA with a focus on Finance. Would be a great academic D3 fit.
