Official Scouting Report

  • Class Rating
  • RHP/OFPosition Projection

01/16/2015 - Under Armour All-America Pre-Season Tournament Ben showed exceptionally well against solid competition at the Under Armour Baseball Factory Pre-Season All America. On the hill, he sat in the mid-eighties with his FB and spun a tight 10/4 CB with sharp action from 71-74. He was mechanically sound, smooth & easy with his actions, and loose with his arm. He attacked the zone throwing a lot of strikes, evident in 8 strikeouts of the 15 he faced in showcase style innings. Defensively in the OF, he made plays with a soft glove in front, with good body control and a smooth tempo. Offensively, he was aggressive to fire the barrel through the zone off his backside, and ran his best down the line at 4.6 seconds. In all - Ben is an intriguing sophomore two-way guy that we look forward to tracking this spring.

12/14/2014 - College PREP - Monterey Park (Los Angeles), CA Ben is a gifted two-way player, RHP/OF, that will graduate in 2017. On the hill, he pounds the zone with his FB from 85-86 with late run. He throws a 2-seam from 83-86 with late action, and spins a CB with flashes of late break at 64-67. Mechanically, he keeps his eyes on the target, tucks the glove and throws with ease. In the OF, he took good routes and made plays with a sure glove. The ball carried out of his hand and he was smooth with his actions. With the bat, he gets his hands activated and generates plus bat speed down to contact. He was accurate with the barrel and had a middle approach with pop. Overall - Ben is a very promising player that we look forward to tracking over the next couple of years.

Tool Grade Scale

Our main goals with the BF "10-70" Scouting Scale are to provide the player with a realistic evaluation of his "PRESENT" abilities (what he can do today), and to provide college coaches with information they can use to identify and/or compare potential recruits.

Tools are graded for all players and pitchers, regardless of age or graduation year. However, for High School players we use only grades 20-70 (grades 10-18 do not apply), while for Middle School players we use only grades 10-52 (grades 55-70 do not apply).
