Uncommitted Spotlight: Roebuck Has "Major" Aspirations

Benny Roebuck RHP / Bryan, OH / 2020

BRYAN - Benny Roebuck was a bat boy when Matt Wisler was a pitcher on a Bryan High School team coached by Benny’s father Joe. Now Benny has aspirations to be where Wisler is at - pitching in the major leagues.

“I obviously want to be there, too,” said the sophomore right-hander, who last year went to Atlanta with his dad to watch Wisler throw for the Braves. “He was in Bryan just like I am and that gets me going.”

But first there is a matter of a college baseball dream.

“Going into eighth grade year I started thinking about wanting to go to college to play baseball and that got me working harder,” the 23rd-ranked player in Ohio’s 2020 class said. “A year later I went to Atlanta with my summer team and pitched against one of the top teams in Florida. We lost 2-1, but my dad said he saw some scouts there and that got me going even more.”

The PBR Underclass Games last July brought even more college interest in the 6-0 180-pounder.
