02/26/2023 - National Showcase - Lake Zurich (Chicago), IL Ben is an excellent RHP/OF in the 2024 class. He recently impressed scouts with his actions on the field and on the mound. In the field, he shows athletic actions and centers his body to the baseball. He can cover ground (6.79 runner) and shows potential to play all three OF spots. Arm plays at 83 velo and feeds back to the dirt are on-line. On the mound, he shows balance and gets downhill. His FB touched 77 and his CB showed 11-5 shape at 68-9. His Ch is deceptive ay 71-4 with tailing actions. Working to find his natural release point will help him stay in the zone with higher frequency. At the plate, he swings with intent (80 exit velo). Engages his lower half well and hits off a firm front side. Hands are fast and can use the whole field. Overall, Ben is a two-way player to stay focused on in the 2024 class.

Exclusive College Recruiting Program Ben is a 2024 pitching prospect out of Illinois who additionally plays OF. On the mount his velocity has worked into the low 80 MPH range and is trending upwards. With a repeatable delivery and good mechanics he will continue to add velocity as he matures and adds more strength and explosion to his delivery. Spins a good breaking ball with depth and has feel for his CHG. He controls the strike zone well and attacks hitters with a feel for mixing his pitches and can work east to west on the plate and learning to better go north to south with FB and breaking ball selection. There is big upside for Ben as he continues to mature and develop on the mound.

06/16/2022 - Omaha National World Series - Session 1 (HS) Ben is a 2024 OF/RHP who showcased his skills at the National World Series in Omaha. In the OF, he gets good reads on balls off the bat and tries to create good fielding angles. He works to get behind ball and plays through with momentum to his target. He has a clean exchange and makes accurate throws into infield with an arm velocity up to 77mph. At the plate, he hits from an athletic and open stance with high hands. He hits into a firm front side and rotates his lower half to contact point. He sprayed balls to all fields with a bat exit velocity up to 74mph during BP. At the event, he reached base 5 times with a single, 3 walks, and reached on an error. On the mound, he showed good poise and was composed. Showed ability to field his position and pitches to contact. He attacks hitters with a FB that sits 73-74mph and an 11/5 shaped breaking ball. In 4 innings of work, Ben struck out 2 batters and threw 62% of his pitches for strikes. With 2 years of continued growth and development, we foresee Ben making huge strides on the baseball diamond.

03/27/2022 - All-In Membership - Lynwood (Chicago), IL Ben is a RHP/OF prospect who will graduate in 2024. Medium frame lean build with strength present and plenty of room to add throughout. In the OF, he starts with active footwork as he works to get around the baseball and showed good drop steps. He takes good routes to the baseball as he fields from a square fielding position with his hands out front. Made on-line throws through the cutoff man from an over-the-top arm slot with an arm velocity up to 77mph. On the mound, he gathers over the rubber and separates his hands on-time. Works with good direction down the mound and lands square to his target. He throws his FB at 69-71mph with sinking action, an 11/5 shaped breaking ball that flashes good depth, and changeup with some movement that he throws with FB arm speed. At the plate, he hits from an athletic and closed stance. He starts in a a short glide step, with a good bat angle at contact, and has a high finish. He hit balls to all fields with a bat exit velocity up to 75mph. With 2 years of continued growth and development, we see this 2-way prospect having a bright future on the baseball field.

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).
