Benji Waite in is a 2005 right handed pitcher/first baseman from Madison Alabama with a very good strong body at 6 ft. 3 220 pounds. He pitches from a 3/4 slot with a nice and easy controlled delivery, and a smooth arm action. His fastball showed good tail topping out at 88 mph. His breaking pitch is a 10-4 slurve that has a very sharp action at times and ranges between a 73-76 mph. His slurve is a very effective out pitch when he repeats his mechanics well. He did not show a change. He hits from a wide open stance with a leg lift trigger that tends to be late. He has good balance during the swing and makes solid contact with a good stroke. He has a very projectable athletic body and will be a very good college pitcher with possible pro future.

Benji Waite is an '05 RHP from Madison, Alabama with a strong power pitchers frame. His arm is loose with excellent arm speed from a H3/4 arm slot. He shows normal effort and has a smooth arm action. He uses a tall & fall style and throws downhill with a nice linear finish. Flies open occasionally, but otherwise mechanics are sound. His FB is 82-84mph, but we have had it as high as 88mph. 2-seam has nice arm side tail life. CB is 70-71mph with 11-5 break, tight rotation, good depth, good sharpness and good deception. CH is a very good pitch. CH is 70-75mph with good arm side sink and good deception. He has a good body and the potential to be a big-time pitcher at the next level. Benji is an excellent student.
