2023 13U Main Event Showcase
Ben Delic is a 2029 3B/RHP, 1B, 2B with a 5-6 152 lb. frame from St. Louis, MO who attends Oakville Sr. Medium, high waisted frame with long levers and plenty of time to physically mature. Recorded a 8.49 second sixty-yard dash. Primary third baseman with a developing defensive skill set. Displayed proper footwork with a wide base and clean funnel out in-front. Showed some lateral range, took proper angels to backhands and showed the ability to make the throw on the run. Recorded fairly accurate throws up to 64 mph across the diamond during drills. Secondary right-handed pitcher that worked from an abbreviated windup with a belt high leg lift and good lower half movements down the slope. Repeats well, attack mentality and proficient strike thrower. Worked steadily in the mid-to-upper 60s throughout his outing and topped to at 68 mph from a three-quarters arm slot. Flashed developing breaking ball with some gradual depth and the ability to land for strikes. Will continue to improve with additional refinements and velocity. Took part in the outfield portion of the defensive workout as well, where he showed fundamentally sound footwork to field properly off his front foot and maintains some momentum into release. Produced accurate throws up to 64 mph as well during drills. Left-handed hitter that hits from an open stance with a high hand set, high back elbow and hanging trigger. Linear swing path with some quickness to his hands and developing feel for the barrel. Plenty of likable components that will continue to improve with proper swing adjustments and additional strength.
