Notes

Comments

7/28/21

Body: 6-foot-3, 175-pound athletic frame with present strength and room for more in the future.

Hit: LHH.  At the plate starts with a neutral stance and wide base.  Maintains an upright posture throughout the swing.  Hands set at shoulder height tucked tight to the body with a high back elbow.  Leg lift stride with good weight transfer to a firm front side.  Long-levered swing but works a short and compact swing with good extension.  Has quick hands through the zone with good overall bat speed.  Has some power potential with good sync with the upper body and lower body working together.  

Power: 86 mph exit velocity off the tee and 91 mph exit velocity in BP.

Arm: LH.  OF-84 mph.  High ¾ arm slot with long and clean arm action.

Defense: In the outfield attacks the ball with smooth rhythm and shorter steps.  Fields the ball with two hands at times on the outside of the gloveside leg.  Utilizes a shuffle crow hop with strong push towards the target.

Run: 4.54 runner to first base.

Delivery: On the mound works exclusively out of the stretch.  Works to a mid height balance point with hands high on the chest.  Tall and fall style down the mound with good extension at release point.  Works from the center of the rubber and strides directionally down the center of the mound with heavy body rotation on the plant foot. 

Arm Action: Over the top arm slot with clean arm action and good hand speed.

FB: 76-78 mph, mostly straight action with good downward tilt when down in the zone.

CB: 64-67 mph, rolling 11/5 shape with developing spin.  

CH: 65-73 mph, good hand speed with sell.

7/28/21

The 2023 outfielder has been a mainstay at the Future Games for Team Oklahoma and showed his comfortability in the moment throughout the week.  The left handed hitter ran a 7.01 60 and showcased throws from the outfield that had good trajectory and carry towards the plate.  Where Bennight really shined was in the box during the games where he picked up a couple hits using his long levered swing.  Bennight has really good strength at contact when hitting with leverage and shows his ability to drive the ball to all fields with gap to gap power and has the attributes that has the potential for in game home run power. 

2/02/20

A physically advanced 6-foot-2, 170-pound projectable frame. On the mound, the left-hander works only from the stretch with a high leg kick gathering over his back side before striding down the mound and finishing to the dish. Arm action is long and loose in the back before coming through a high-¾ slot that Bennight repeats well. Fastball sits 77-79 mph with arm side run, almost all strikes. Changeup shows occasional cut at 73-74 mph, mostly strikes. Curveball shows 1/7 shape at 67-68 mph, mostly strikes.

On the mound, the left-hander works only from the stretch with a high leg kick gathering over his back side before striding down the mound and finishing to the dish. Arm action is long and loose in the back before coming through a high-¾ slot that Bennight repeats well. Fastball sits 77-79 mph with arm side run, almost all strikes. Changeup shows occasional cut at 73-74 mph, mostly strikes. Curveball shows 1/7 shape at 67-68 mph, mostly strikes.

2/02/20

Demonstrated feel for a long and lean 6-foot-2, 170-pound frame with obvious projectability and athleticism in his frame. The left-handed hitter begins with a balanced, open stance utilizing a leg-lift stride to initiate his swing. Gets tall at the point of contact while hitting into a stiff front side with a quick barrel that enters the hitting zone on a flat path. Consistently was on time and peppered the middle of the field off the tee registering an 83 mph bat-exit velocity, but showed more pop in BP. Ran a 7.18 60-yard dash. The primary outfielder featured advanced footwork with long, athletic actions during defensive evaluations arriving to the ball on time and playing through it with regularity. A fluid high ¾ arm-slot with whip created accurate 86 mph throws from his position with carry. 


4/28/19

A 6-foot-2, 160 pound lean and projectable frame. On the mound the left-hander works from an average tempo delivery with a moderate leg kick before gliding down the mound and finishing to the dish. Arm action long and controlled in the back before coming through a high-¾ slot. Fastball keeps its plane up in the zone and flashes some arm side run down in the zone, some strikes,  77-79 mph. Curveball flashes some tight spin and depth at times with big 12/6 shape at 65-67 mph some strikes. Changeup is developing at 69-71.

4/28/19

A 6-foot-2, 160-pound frame. Offensively, physical frame, hits from tall left-handed stance. Narrow base, uses short lift and stride to the baseball, small dive towards that plate to swing. Some stiffness in the swing, generates some bat speed with long levers, much more length and separation to be generated in future. Barrel works steep, uphill through hitting zone. Chance to be power LH bat, 80 mph exit velo.  Runs a 7.33 60. Defensively, plays tall and upright, short stride to throw with current arm strength and carry. Works up and over front side to throw. Throws with long arm stroke coming from high ¾ arm slot, small head snap with slight arm side run at 84 mph from OF.
