KALAMAZOO, Mich. – With the 2020 Major League Baseball Draft just days away Western Michigan baseball junior outfielder Blake Dunn was named one of the top 100 college prospects by D1Baseball on Monday.

Blake Dunn Scouting Report by D1Baseball.com:
"Strong-bodied and quick-twitch at 5-foot-11, 205 pounds, Dunn is a 70-grade athlete and physically resembles Cole Calhoun. Dunn was a catcher as a prep, but has since moved to center field where his plus-plus speed plays from gap to gap. He's a solid average defender with an above average arm. He must reduce his strikeout rate while improving his power, and was off to that type of start in 2020 with six extra-base hits and just 12 strikeouts in 69 plate appearances to go along with 11 stolen bases. Overall, there aren't too many athletes of his caliber in college baseball and Dunn will likely be considered around the fourth round."

Back on May 20 Dunn was named one of the top five athletes at the collegiate level heading into the draft according to Baseball America. Per MLB scouting department Dunn ranked as the second best athlete at the collegiate level.

Prior to the 2020 season Dunn was named one of the top 150 hitters in college baseball according to D1Baseball analytics. Dunn was also one of 55 players named to the preseason Golden Spikes Award watch list which is given annually to the top amateur baseball player in the country.

The junior outfielder currently ranks as the 172nd best prospect according to MLB.com and projections from draftsite.com have Dunn going in the fourth round to the Milwaukee Brewers.

Before the season was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic Dunn recorded a .288 batting average and led the Broncos in home runs (2), RBIs (17) and stolen bases (11). In 15 games, Dunn ranked 10^th in the NCAA in stolen bases and eighth in stolen bases per game (0.73).
