94 LHP

Blake Dickerson

Ocean Lakes

Dickerson is purely a projection lefty with a strong, lean frame and terrific athleticism for his size and build. Dickerson exhibits arm speed and balance on the bump, with an arsenal that has ticked up considerably since his junior year. Dickerson has been up to 92, resting 89-90 with some armside run. He commands the fastball well with a willingness to pitch inside on both-handed hitters. He throws a sweeping slider that's his best secondary, and has recently seemed to turn a corner with a tumbling changeup that he buries with conviction. The athlete, the stuff and the upside point to a potential mid-rotation starter at the next level if his development goes as planned, though there's always the chance for more if the stuff ends up shifting up into another gear.

LHP Blake Dickerson, Ocean Lakes (VA), 2023 

Performance: 5 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 8 K, 1 BB, 67% Strikes 

Commitment: Virginia Tech 

Blake Dickerson threw well on Thursday for Baseball U, handling a stout USA Prime National lineup over his five shutout innings. The 6’6” Virginia Tech commit sat in the 88-92 MPH range with natural sink to his fastball, and leaned on a snappy low 80s slider with traditional above average shape. Dickerson commanded the fastball and slider well early and often, and has flashed a mid 80s changeup with fade in outings this summer. Overall, it’s a high follow in the Mid-Atlantic with a big projectable frame, starter traits and a robust three pitch mix.
