07.22.17 - Benavides is hard-nosed, aggressive player with life in his body and a strong, muscular frame at 5-foot-8, 145-pounds. The right-handed hitter has an aggressive approach and does not get cheated. Starts from a wide, crouched stance, big leg kick to load with rhythm, lands with athleticism, explosive lower half transfer as he rotates his hips with leverage and bat speed. Short, uphill path creates lift with a high finish, strong hands, hard contact, and an exit velocity 87 mph off the tee. Behind the plate, he has average hands, quick transfer, quick footwork into his short arm stroke with effort. Posted pop times of 1.92-2.07 with average accuracy and carry. Ran a 6.88-second 60-yard dash.
