Benjamin Sems is a 2016 SS/2B/RHP with a 6-0 145 lb. frame from Chesterfield, MO who attends Westminster Christian Academy. Tall and slender build, long arms and legs, lots of room to get stronger. 7.40 runner, moves well in the infield and works through the ball, stays low and fields out front, compact arm action with a quick release, accurate throws with developing arm strength. Left handed hitter, good fundamental swing, stays short and direct, has the beginnings of some bat speed, squares up the ball consistently and made hard game contact, works the middle of the field to the pull side, projects well as a hitter with additional strength. Also pitched, long loose arm action with a hook in back, very good extension out front, will lean off the plate at release and loose direction at times. Fastball topped out at 80 mph, sneaky fast and gets on hitters, soft curveball and developing change up. Getting stronger will be the key to his development. Excellent student. Named to the Showcase All Prospect Team.
