Michael Blake Dean (born February 25, 1988) is a former professional baseball player.
He played collegiately at Louisiana State University (LSU). He was one of LSU's leading hitters, and was named MVP of the 2008 SEC Baseball Tournament. He has also received many other freshman awards, such as 2007 Collegiate Baseball Freshman All-American; 2007 Freshman All-SEC; 2007 Louisiana Freshman of the Year; SEC Freshman of the Week (May 7, 2007 and April 16, 2007).
Blake Dean tried out as a pitcher, coming out of high school. He was on the verge of getting cut, because he lacked velocity. He was quickly converted to a first baseman, after his coach saw him hit batting practice. He started all four years at first base and was one of the best power hitters in LSU baseball history.

In 2009 Dean was given another All-America selection as he was named to the pre-Season All-America team by Baseball America (2nd team) and Rivals.com (1st team).

I am only just growing better to know thee.... thank you for all the things you've given to our family... given with your heart to your wife and my sister and me... now i look out west of battle where our ancestors lie in grave, out to breed where the blacksmith put root to our family name... I get proud of my birthright, think of the things i must leave when i leave behind the city and the living finally (the temple of the winds blows, until the boy wakes from his six year slumber... alive, alone, we take the next step) desire desire deep down inside of me you are not the maker nor the master of me help me to better support my family to better better of a brother be.... desire desire deep down inside of me you are not the wrecker nor the ruler of me desire desire deep down in me i've been alone for so many of these great moments in my life... alone like so many but at this moment of my life desire, despair and death i challenge thee...
