10/26/2022 - Baseball Factory Best of The West - Upperclass Benjamin is a 2023 OF out of Sitka, Alaska who showcased his skills at the Best of the West Tournament. In the OF, he gets good reads on balls off the bat and creates good fielding angles. He works to get behind ball and plays through with momentum to his target. Clean exchange off of his left foot with hands out front. He made accurate throws into infield, with a loose arm stroke, and an arm velocity up to 83mph. At the plate, he hits from an athletic and closed stance with comfortable hands. He starts with a short/square glide step, with a small hand load, and rotates his lower half to contact point. Gets on-plane early and has a fast barrel through the hitting zone. Showed good barrel control as he hit line drives consistently to all fields. During the tournament, he reached base 7 times with a double, 3 singles, 2 walks, and was hit by a pitch. He also had an RBI. With another year of growth and development, we foresee Benjamin having a bright future on the baseball field.
