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. Leads with his front hip and shows ability to get out over his plant leg as he braces nicely and allows the arm to work.
Arm Action: RH. Longer arm that maintains seperation from body at hand break. Low 3/4 slot
FB: T83, 79-81 mph. FB worked well with arm side run down in the zone. Can live away, while showing the ability to work into RHH. T2154, 2008 average rpm.
CB: 69-72 mph. 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.
6/08/21

5-foot-11, 145-pound slim, lanky frame. Solid approach at the plate, Gann recorded an exit velocity of 80 mph. Begins in a balanced stance with a slow load, and uses a quick stride to get the barrel to the hitting zone on time. Bat speed is developing, has a short level swing plane and good extension on his finish. Barreled up some balls during the round showing a line drive approach. Behind the plate, his best throws to 2B was clocked at 72 mph; had a natural exchange, and smooth footwork. Showed consistent pop times of 2.25-2.29 and a a flexible setup. Used a high ¾ slot with a quick arm action while showing consistent accuracy to the base. During the event, clocked a 60 time of 7.73.
