Ben Maurer is a 2017 3B/RHP with a 6-1 190 lb. frame from Waterloo, IL who attends Waterloo HS. Large square shouldered athletic build, very strong for his age. Right handed hitter, deep hand load, long lifting swing, shows some present gap power and the ball comes off his barrel well, power approach. Shows good arm strength in the infield, actions are a bit long at third base but are athletic, charges the ball well and maintains his balance. Also pitched, leg tuck delivery, extended 3/4's arm slot, gets downhill well to release, has some deception in his delivery. Fastball topped out at 80 mph, gets good running action at times. Sweeping curveball with some 10/4 depth and shape. Threw strikes with both pitches and had some idea how to mix and locate. Good student.
