LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2004 Sunshine West Showcase
WP - Bennett Askew is a 2005 RHP/1B from Shawnee Mission HS in KS. At 6 foot 7 and 250 pounds, Askew has an XL frame with lots to work with. He showed a classic high hands style and a hard stride into the ball in BP which generated some big power to left field. His swing and throw actions are low effort and easy but overall good looking. On the mound is where his largest potential appeared to be showing an effortless 80-82mph fastball that could easily end up in the upper 80’s if he grows into the 6’7 frame and generates a bit more arm speed. His curve was mostly in the 70-71mph range and the change-up was his best at 72-74 with some deception. He is a must-follow this year for College Coaches.
