Malik Julian Blaise was born on September 9, 1997, in New Orleans to Michael

Blaise Sr. and Chinell Britton. He was raised between Meraux and Violet, Louisiana, often

splitting time between the two communities. Malik is the middle child of five siblings, with

older siblings Asharia and Michael Blaise Jr., and younger twin brothers, Michaund and

Mikael Blaise.

Malik was a three-sport athlete at Kenilworth before the devastation of Hurricane Katrina.

Upon returning with his family to St. Bernard Parish, he picked up where he left off in

athletics. While participating in recreational football and basketball, baseball ultimately

became his primary passion.

As a freshman at Chalmette High School, Malik was the youngest player on each team in

every sport he played, but he never allowed that to hinder his development. Throughout his

high school career, he made a lasting impact through both leadership and performance

across football, basketball, and baseball. His accolades include:

●

Earned varsity letters in Basketball (1 year), Football (3 years), and Baseball (4

years)

●

CHS Basketball Defensive Player of the Year (2013–2014)

●

CHS Football Captain’s Award (2013, 2014)

●

CHS Baseball MVP (2014, 2015)

●

●

All-State Baseball (2015)

Malik was also a member of the Chalmette High School baseball team that went undefeated

in district play and set the school record for most wins in a single season.

He later went on to play Division I baseball at Southern University in Baton Rouge,

Louisiana. Although not a starter during his freshman year, Malik made a statement in a

game against LSU, going 2-for-4 with an RBI. He earned a partial scholarship for the

following two seasons, which he lost entering his senior year due to limited production.

Despite this setback, Malik played a pivotal role in his final season, earning First Team

All-Conference honors at shortstop.

That same year, the Southern Jaguars captured the 2019 SWAC Baseball Championship

and advanced to the NCAA Tournament. Malik also graduated from Southern University

with a bachelor’s degree in Therapeutic Recreation and Leisure Studies.

Malik continued his professional playing career in the United Shore Professional Baseball

League (USPBL) in Utica, Michigan, where he won two league championships and was

named to the 2020 USPBL All-Star Team. He later played with two teams in the Pioneer

Baseball League before finishing his career in the Empire Pro Baseball League.Currently, Malik resides in St. Petersburg, where he works as a Customer Development

Apprentice at Power Home Remodeling. He plans to transition back into baseball through

coaching, with aspirations of becoming part of a college national championship staff or a

World Series championship organization.

Malik credits every coach, teammate, family member, and supporter who has played a role

in his journey, expressing deep gratitude for the time, love, and belief they invested in him

along the way.
