Blaze Jordan has always seemed destined for a career in pro baseball.
A 2020 third-round pick by the Red Sox out of DeSoto Central High School in Southaven, Mississippi, Jordan put himself on the radar of baseball scouts long before he made the jump up to the minor leagues.
A right-handed slugger at an early age, Jordan went viral at just 11 years old when he bashed a baseball 395 feet into the stands at the Texas Rangers’ former ballpark, Globe Life Park. Just two years later, he hit three 500-foot homers in the same stadium.
