Summary
Blake, a second-year standout catcher with the Humber Hawks men’s baseball team, has brought leadership to the freshman-based Hawks squad. Catchers, widely known as the player who calls and controls most aspects of a game, need to be both skilled and intelligent, and Blake brings this approach in each and every game he plays.
He is, without question, the top defensive player at his position in the entire league. Teams often change their approach to the offensive side of the game, living in fear of Blake’s ability to throw out runners. After a fine year in the prestigious Inter-County Baseball League, he has found great success at the plate this year, hitting a robust .417 at press time.
Blake is enrolled in his second year in the Community & Justice Services Program at Humber’s Lakeshore Campus. His ability to lead and be an impact player in every game makes him a fine choice for the 2016 Etobicoke Sports Hall of Fame Scholarship.
