Ben Gann, Shelby County (AL), 2024 Positional Profile: RHP/C Body: 6-1, 149-pounds. Lean and wirey frame with an athletic and proportional build. Has room to add mass. Delivery: Smooth delivery down the mound with strong presence on his backside as he sits and glides with the slope.

CB lacked true depth and offered more of a top spinning shape that rolled over. Showed ability to throw it for stikes but primarily used as a get me over pitch at its current development. T1702, 1664 average rpm. CH: 68-70 mph. CH showed abilty to affect hitters with speed difference. Showed ability to kill spin rate and tunnel off FB. Showed some ASR to lefties where he felt more comfortable in allowing pitch to work for him. Could look to gain confidence with pitch by attacking righty on righty. T1726, 1659 average rpm.
