When he's on, Blanchard has electric stuff, with his fastball sitting in the low 90s with armside run and a late-breaking curveball. Blanchard transferred to Virginia Commonwealth from Santa Ana College, and battled command issues as a junior. This year, Blanchard calmed down his delivery a bit and had better feel for the strike zone, though he still struggled to bury his stuff down in the zone at times. Blanchard has a short-to-long arm action and a physical body, listed at 6-foot, 220. He has been both a starter and reliever during his collegiate career, but scouts see him as a potential quick mover as a reliever.
