With a simple and compact swing of the bat, Blake Lundy can generate power in a massive way.

Just a month into the TSSAA spring season the Baylor School sophomore catcher, who is a brick house around the plate at 6-foot-3, 220 pounds, leads the state in home runs with seven.

From his bat waggle, to his slight rocking of the bat before the pitch, to his wide and powerful stance, which is followed by a powerful front-leg kick, Lundy’s approach at the plate looks very similar to that of former Major League slugger Mark McGwire. Even with each wearing a batter’s leg guard.

In a three-game sweep against Chattanooga Christian, the 16-year old Lundy had four home runs, a pair of doubles and seven RBIs.

Lundy showcased his budding potential this past fall when he hit a 420-foot home run with an exit velocity of 101 miles per hour on his way to MVP honors at the 16u Perfect Game World Series, playing for Wow Factor National.
