06/29/2023 - Cape Cod Select Training & Competition (HS) Benjamin is a 2024 catcher out of Marysville, Ontario who has a promising future on the diamond. Behind the dish, he presents a soft/sure mitt showing great pocket awareness sticking pitches. He uses his body through the blocking process but needs to work to get body down sooner and improve lateral movement. Pop times showed in the 2.25 range. Times will continue to drop as he builds more arm strength through a long toss program. At the plate, hitting/potential is solid through an open setup. Hands are quick (81 mph exit velocity) and work through an aggressive swing path. He stays inside the ball, utilizing all fields, flashing gap-to-gap pop. Power will increase as he utilizes his lower half more efficiently. Mental makeup is a plus as he has a positive attitude, works hard, and is very coachable. Benjamin has potential with time and room to progress his game.
