Pitching Style
Blackburn’s repertoire consists of a 2-seam fastball, changeup, curveball, and slider. His 2-seam fastball is not overpowering, usually in the high 80’s to low 90’s; however, his 6-4 stand makes his fastball “appear to get on batters faster than the miles per hour would indicate.” He normally uses his 2-seam fastball to generate groundballs. He throws a nice curveball and tight slider. When pitching at his best, he can locate all four of his pitches for strikes, which can make him nearly unhittable.
