Tony Blanco Jr.
Hitting scouting report · 80Grade
Scouting summary
Blanco has a clear carrying offensive trait in his raw and emerging game power, supported by a large frame, bat speed, and leverage that have translated into a notable home-run total in 2026. The central question is whether the contact and swing-decision profile will improve enough for the power to play against upper-level pitching, because a low-average first baseman has little defensive margin for error. His floor is limited by below-average athleticism and a likely first-base-only defensive destination, while the realistic ceiling is a power-oriented bench or second-division regular if he trims chase and miss tendencies. Continued health, better exposure to advanced breaking balls, and evidence of sustained contact quality are the path to an MLB role.
