LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2020 West Coast Prospect Showcase
Benjamin Kim is a 2023 RHP/OF with a 5-11 180 lb. frame from Fullerton, CA who attends La Mirada. Athletic frame with some length in the limbs and remaining room to fill. Ran a 7.57 second 60-yard dash. Primary right-handed pitcher, has good physicality in the lower half that allows him to drive hard down the mound with good extension. Uses great arm speed to generate excellent life to the fastball with some sink down in the zone at times while mixing in feel for a quality curveball out of 11-to-5 shape that projects with added development. Also worked out in the outfield with a longer approach to the ball but sees it in deep and uses good arm strength to generate strong throws to bags up to 88 mph. Right-handed hitter, sets up open and uses a high leg lift trigger for timing. Has a longer swing to contact with a middle to pull approach that will improve results with added bat speed and minor mechanical adjustments. Very good student. Named to 2020 West Coast Prospect Showcase Top Prospect List.
