INF Ben Ford (Waubonsie Valley) made a loud statement in his PBR debut on Sunday. Standing 6-foot-2, 185-pounds, Ford still has room to fill out within his lanky frame. The right-handed hitter works short to the ball with quick hands and a level path, creating line-drives up the middle of the field with a max exit velocity of 95.5 mph. He’s an above-average runner, recording a 6.95 in the 60-yard dash.
