View Draft Report

A three-year starter at Michigan who was named to the College World Series All-Tournament team in 2019, Blomgren is a steady performer with average tools, but a solid track record of performance. His resume could allow him to be a more attractive selection for teams in the shortened 2020 draft, where more clubs will be looking for safety and higher floors than a typical year. Blomgren has average tools across the board outside of power, which he is lacking. There’s some stiffness to Blomgren’s operation at the plate and he has a flat swing that’s geared more toward hitting line drives up the middle than any sort of over-the-field impact. While he’s shown a good ability to take walks, he’s also struck out at a reasonably high clip (17 percent) throughout his Big 10 career. Defensively, Blomgren is a sure-handed shortstop who will make all the routine plays, with average arm strength and range. Scouts are drawn to his game thanks to a quiet, workmanlike demeanor and those who know him praise his makeup and toughness. While Blomgren doesn’t offer much upside or a lengthy summer track record, he projects to stick at shortstop and has a reasonably high floor.
