LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2021 Spring Atlantic Coast Showcase
Ben Whitley is a 2024 SS/RHP/3B with a 6-2 175 lb. frame from Mooresville, NC who attends Community School of Davidson. Projectable frame, well developed for his age and shows great potential to unlock. Posted a 7.83 in the 60 yard dash. Primary SS, showed sound actions in the infield with some young tendencies present. Developing effective back hand skills, has chopped steps and a late glove for now. He moves very well downhill and glove side with a confident glove. Loose arm action works fine should shorten up to compete at the high school level. Good ability overall, has time to develop and apply some tighter mechanics to advance his game. Also pitched, the right hander topped the fastball out at 78 mph and flashed a tight breaking ball. Fills up the zone and has an easy paced delivery. Slight crossfire action on the release has some value to it. Pretty effective secondary arm to have, shows potential with added strength and using more of the solid body. Right handed hitter, starts open and uses a leg lift trigger with no timing established and leaked frontside. Could get more lower half involved and stay tight at contact. Young swing has some moving pieces and time to figure out what will work best. A lot of physical projection to look forward to. Great student.
