Benoit showed a strong all-around offensive profile, posting a 93 mph max exit velocity and 87.1 mph average EV with a max distance of 363 feet. The swing features an uphill path designed to elevate the baseball, creating natural lift and carry off the bat. His bat speed (77.1 mph max) and quick hands (24.9 mph max, 23.5 avg) allow him to generate easy whip through the zone. Benoit also ran a 7.00 60-yard dash, showing athleticism in his 6-1, 174-pound frame that still offers plenty of room for physical growth.

Positional Profile: SS/3B Athletic INF with swing path that drives the ball in the air and displays power profile.
Body: 6-0, 167-pounds. Wiry, athletic frame with plenty of room for continued physical development.
Hit: RHH. Sets up tall and balanced with hands in front of the shoulder, barrel vertical, and a small waggle. Initiates the load by sitting into the back knee as the hands drift back and the back elbow lifts. Utilizes a medium leg kick for timing before a controlled stride forward with some length, landing slightly closed off. Fires hips at foot strike with hands quick to follow, showing present bat speed through the zone. Works on a steep uphill path with a high, aggressive finish, producing loud contact to the pull side and frequently driving the ball in the air. 69.5 mph bat speed with 6 G's of rotational acceleration.
Power: 91 max exit velocity, averaged 76.6 mph. 353' max distance.
Arm: RH. INF-77 mph. Compact arm path with a sidearm release. Displays present arm speed and solid feel for accuracy, with room to add strength as frame continues to fill. Displays potential to stick on the left side.
Defense: Gets low pre-pitch with quick, compact feet and soft hands that work cleanly out front. Has room to improve reads off the bat, but shows the athleticism and physical tools to project up the middle with continued growth.
ATH: 7.07 runner in the 60. 1.52 and 3.83 in the 10 and 30 yard splits. 22.80 max vertical.
Vizual Edge: 70.79 Edge Score
