2023 Sunshine Rocky Mountain Showcase (Tues/Wed)  
Ben Clayton is a 2024 C/1B/3B with a 6-0 220 lb. frame from Salida, CO who attends Salida. Clayton worked exclusively from his primary spot behind the plate, showcasing a slightly staggered set with consistent footwork and ground gained, posting a 2.20 pop time. He has further room to work downhill and carry momentum towards 2B, ultimately topping out at 70 mph on throws. Offensively, the righty started from a narrow open stance with a low hand set and low back elbow, utilizing a toe tap trigger with evident carry production when he got the barrel out in front. There's strength in the hands here when timed up, posting an exit velo of 82 mph. Ran a 7.90 sixty yard dash.
