01/15/2021 - 2021 Baseball Factory Pre-Season All-America Tournament (FL) Benjamin is a talented 2022 that plays in the OF and attended the Pre-Season All American. In the OF, Benjamin shows effective footwork off the bat with the ability to cover both gaps. He presents a confident glove as he fields making clean exchanges. The throws to the infield are delivered online and accurate. Hitting, he shows the ability to hit to all fields. Loading on time allows him to keep a balanced swing and create fast bat speed. He keeps his hands in and stays through the ball allowing him to make square and consistent contact. Benjamin showed well at the event with consistency on both sides of the ball.

11/15/2020 - Official College Recruiting Membership - Marlborough (Boston), MA Benjamin is an athletic OF who has a promising future on the diamond. In the OF, defensive abilities are outstanding as he displays smooth / fluid actions. He takes proper routes / angles in tracking down balls. Feet are active as he works to get behind balls and plays with momentum to his target. He moves well laterally (7.34 60 time) and covers a lot of ground. Throws are accurate with carry (83 mph velocity) to his target. At the plate, he continues to shine, displaying well above average hitting abilities with outstanding power potential through an athletic, closed setup. Hands are quick (86 mph exit velocity) and work through an aggressive swing path. He has strength in his swing and shows a feel for the barrel with power showing best to the pull side. With 2 years to further develop, Benjamin has the makings of a special type player with time and room to improve his game.

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).
