Benoit is a 5-foot-6 130- pound prospect. The right handed-hitting outfielder had an exit velocity of 74 mph off the tee. He hits out of a slightly open stance with the hands relaxed off the back shoulder. The load is quiet and allows him to get into a good hitting position. The bat-path is slightly elevated and the hand-speed is evident during the swing. After contact, he stays on plane well through contact.
Defensively, he threw 64 mph from the outfield. The feet are active and he moves well to get into a balanced fielding position. The glove is relaxed out front. The transition from glove to the throwing position is good and he creates a good line with the target. The arm-swing is clean and he stays in line as he finishes his throws.
