Blake Monar — who is vying for Clare Crawley's heart on The Bachelorette (and will eventually be vying for Tayshia Adams' when the show pivots, we assume) — didn't always dream of being a male grooming specialist. According to his bio on ABC, he actually had dreams of being a baseball player. In 2008, Blake was drafted by the New York Yankees in their 26th round, per his alma mater's website, but played for Indiana University's team instead. He got signed to the Washington Nationals in 2011 but was then dropped down to the minor leagues to play for the Auburn Doubledays.

However, a "debilitating neuromuscular injury" forced Blake to retire after just two years, according to ABC. Rather than wallow, Blake moved to Phoenix to open his own business specializing in grooming. His company Statum Style is "100% all-natural, cruelty-free, non-toxic," according to the brand's Instagram, and caters to both men and women. The hair care products are designed to promote sophistication and simplicity, per the brand's mission.

How Blake's unisex haircare brand translates to his official Bachelorette bio labeling him as a "male grooming specialist" remains unclear, but we imagine we'll find out more once he's on the show. Perhaps he'll share with Clare (or Tayshia) and the rest of the mansion about his male grooming habits? Per his bio, he's also a big fan of pancakes — so maybe he'll whip up some of those as well.
