New York Games (June 27-29, 2016)

Dibeneditto is 5-foot-9, 170 pounds.  He ran a respectable 7.1 60. Offensively- Left handed hitter, open stance with hands up by the ears. Leg kick to a big stride, good hand separation with high hands and bat angle at about 45 degrees. Has good hands and hip rotation, but reaches out in front slightly at times. Hips explode decently, just needs to get stronger to help increase the 84 MPH exit velocity. Defensively- Good approach and angle to the ball, clean transfer and has good momentum going with the throw. High ¾ arm slot with nice long arm action. Outfield arm velocity: 81 MPH. Pitching- Drop step to the third base side with a bit of drift, leg kick just above the belt and drives off a bent back leg. Reaches low on arm action and snaps ball with a high-3/4 arm slot. Pulls down on ball well during follow through with a bit of recoil on the plant leg. Plant food lands a bit open, MAX FB: 78 MPH (76-78 consistently), 2-seam has good arm side tail. CB was 67-72 MPH.
