The 2023 college season saw Blake Salamon take his game to a whole other level. Power and hitting ability have long been calling cards for Blake since he was a younger player in the Bulls organization. We first saw glimpses during his 13U season back in 2016 and that carried through to a very successful career at Detroit Catholic Central.
Like many college underclassman, Blake had to battle for playing time. As a freshman at Northwood, he saw action in 17 games and had one home run to show for it. That production doubled the following season playing in 36 games and hitting two home runs. Last year as a junior Blake simply exploded at the plate. He was a mainstay in the middle of the line up setting Northwood single season records in home runs (22), RBI (63) and total bases (158).
Can’t wait to see what 2024 has in store!!
