Wabash Valley JC commit. 5-foot-10, 160-pound right-handed hitting two-way prospect, lean athlete, wiry strength, ran a 7.35 laser-timed 60.

Fastball sat 81-84, touched 85, lively running action. Curveball, 68-70, sweeping action, Changeup, 70-71, fade action.

2021 Ben Norton shortstop/right-handed pitcher checks in at 5-foot-10, 155-pounds. Norton is athletic and his hands and feet really work well together on the defensive side of the ball. He is accurate and has some arm strength with a 81-Infield Velocity, but also gives you the feel of a guy that can accurately flip the ball with a quick release when he is not throwing for the gun. His 7.18/60-yard time is respectable and shows his athletic ability. With added strength and staying over his backside a little bit better his 78-Exit Velocity should improve, but looks as though he still wants to get to his front side a little to quick at times. Once he adds strength and trust that strength look for even more and harder contact to follow.
