LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2007 Midwest Top Prospect Showcase
Shane Blair is a 2008 C/IF with a 5'10'', 190 lb. frame from Rock Falls, IL who attends Rock Falls HS. He has a thick, strong build, especially in the lower half. Blair is a polished defensive catcher with compact actions and good footwork. He has plenty of arm strength at 75 mph in drills, although he has a hand waggle in the back that slows down his release. He made good throws in the games. Blair is an aggressive hitter who hits out of a balanced, no stride approach and does a good job staying short and quick to the ball. He made very good contact in the games and showed pull power with some loft in his swing. His strength gives him some bat speed and makes him a threat at the plate. Blair is a solid all around player who should be a good catcher at the college level. He is also an excellent student.
