Not on the current slate
Blaze hasn't been scored in 41 days — his last matchup was against Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday, August 28, 2026. A gap that long usually means an injury, a minor-league option, or a roster move rather than a rest day. Everything below is his most recent real production, not a projection.
Recent form
Blaze is 7-for-32 (.219) over his last 10 games, in line with his .247 season line. No hot streak to fade, no slump to buy — the matchup is doing the work in his score, which is the normal case. The full game log is below.
What kind of hitter he is
Blaze puts the ball in play — 30 strikeouts in 186 at-bats, about 16% of the time. Contact hitters carry their value on the hits board rather than the power boards, and they're less matchup-dependent than sluggers: a strikeout arm hurts him less than it hurts a hitter who sells out for damage.
He's a right-handed bat
Blaze hits from the right side, so the platoon math runs the other way from a lefty's. Right-handed bats face right-handed pitching most of the time, meaning his baseline is built against the harder side and a left-handed starter is the upgrade. That's why a righty's score can jump on a day nothing else about the matchup changed. The model weighs his rates against the specific handedness he's drawing rather than a blended season number, which is where a lot of the day-to-day movement in his score comes from.
Floor and ceiling
Blaze has recorded at least one hit in 35 of 56 games he's batted in — 63% — with 9 multi-hit games among them. That's about average — most regulars land somewhere near it.
Home and away
Blaze is hitting .176 at home (13-for-74) and .295 on the road (33-for-112) across the season. That's a real-looking split, and it's the kind of thing that's usually part park and part noise. The model doesn't apply a blanket home-road adjustment — it prices the actual ballpark he's standing in, which is the part that carries signal.
No graded record on him yet
We haven't ranked Blaze a top-20 hitter matchup often enough this season to have a record worth publishing — 1 time so far. He's appeared in 58 graded games, so the log below is real; there just isn't a track record on our calls to show. It'll build here if the matchups start landing his way.
Where he lands across our boards
Blaze was scored on 12 boards in that matchup, and the spread is the interesting part: rbis graded 52.5/100 while triples came in at 0.8/100. Same player, same game, same opposing arm — different questions. A spread that wide usually means the matchup favours one kind of outcome over another, and it's the clearest argument for reading the board that matches what you actually care about.
How the model reads him
Blaze gets scored the same way a backup infielder does — same inputs, same scale, no thumb on it. What he's done against arms of this handedness, what this particular pitcher and bullpen give up, his likely plate appearances, the ballpark, the conditions, his recent form. The weighting behind those is ours and gets re-tuned weekly against what actually happened. The output is public and graded, which is the only claim worth making.
What we'd flag
Read this page knowing what it can't do. It can't show you a line no book posted — coverage peaks around 87% for confirmed starters. It can't see a lineup change that happens after the projection publishes. And it can't tell you anything useful from one game, because the model is only measurable across a season-sized sample. For Blaze specifically, we don't have a meaningful graded record on him yet.
