06/16/2022 - Omaha National World Series - Session 1 (HS) Ben continues to show improvements on the diamond. Foot speed has improved as he ran his best 60 time to date, now a 6.98 runner. In the OF, defensive abilities are now solid as he takes proper routes/angles in tracking down balls. He works to get behind balls and plays through with momentum to his target. Throws are accurate with online carry (82 mph velocity) to his target. At the plate, he continues to shine through an athletic setup. Hands are quick and work through a level swing path. He stays inside the ball, utilizing all fields, flashing gap to gap pop. Lower half works well through an aggressive hip turn. Mental makeup is a plus as he is very coachable and works hard to be the best player he can be.
