08/12/2008 - College PREP - Wilmington, DE Ben is a big, physical catcher with an accurate arm and good direction to his exchange. He needs to keep his arm slot up on top and get rid of the ball quicker. Actions are a bit stiff. He is firm on the catch and deadens the ball in the dirt ok. Lacks lateral range and quickness in his lower half right now. With the bat, Ben uses the whole field and stays on the plane of the pitch. He needs to add some more lower half to his approach and loosen up his grip on the bat as well. Both of these will quicken him up a bit. May be suited for 1B at the next level as well.
