2019 National Showcase
Ben Hernandez is a 2020 RHP/3B with a 6-2 205 lb. frame from Chicago, IL who attends De La Salle Institute. Nice athletic build with good present strength and room for more. Uses his strong lower half well in his delivery, drives downhill to release, high 3/4's arm slot with a clean and compact arm swing, simple and repeatable mechanics, very low effort release. Steady low 90's fastball, topped out at 93 mph, stays on top of the ball well and generates consistent sinking action. Outstanding change up, throwing with arm speed and conviction with even harder sink than his fastball, definite potential plus pitch. Tends to slow his arm on his curveball but has good spin and shape to the pitch and it will improve. Strike thrower who fields his position well and works quickly. Verbal commitment to Illinois-Chicago. Named to play in the Perfect Game All-American Classic
