LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2022 New York Indoor Showcase (Saturday)
Benjamin Rhode is a 2024 2B/SS with a 5-8 160 lb. frame from Lowman, NY who attends Elmira Free Academy. Medium build with developing overall physicality and solid athleticism with plenty of time to develop more. Primary position IF, who fields the ball out front with nice, yet deliberate footwork. Showed solid range going to the backhand side and nice lateral mobility overall. Has a good feel for what he's doing with the glove and for infield play in general. Plays clean, sits in his legs nicely, sticks his nose on the ball and showed a very solid, accurate arm reaching 75 mph across the diamond. Handled the slow roller and showed the ability to throw on the run and from multiple slots. RHH working from an even stance and showing nice hand quickness. Gets on plane with the ball and showed some natural loft and hard contact when he stays in the middle of the field. Worked the middle well and showed feel for the barrel. Outstanding student.
