Andre Blake vs. ATL Named June's Save of the Month

Andre Blake’s career highlight reel will be replete with breathtaking diving stops and agile kick-saves that remind everyone about the Jamaican’s spectacular shot-stopping abilities. The Union keeper is having another sensational season in 2018. He’s in the top ten in saves per match and 11th in Goals Against even though he faces far fewer headed chances — which generally are low percentage shots — compared to the guys averaging fewer goals per game than him. Specifically, the goalies that allow fewer goals than Blake see 16% of the shots against them come off the head of an attacker while Blake only sees 8% off headers.
