LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2020 Central Prospect Showcase
Kai Bennett is a 2023 RHP/1B, 3B, SS with a 6-3 185 lb. frame from Liberty, MO who attends Liberty. Large, athletic frame with long limbs and some present strength to frame, additional room to fill throughout moving forward. Ran a 7.42 60-yard dash. Primary righthanded pitcher, slight side step moving into a mid leg lift, remains compact with mechanics and arm action working up to a high three-quarters release point. Fastball topped out at 83 mph, mostly true in life with occasional running life to arm side. Curveball shows 11-5 shape with some depth to it up to 69 mph. Pitched to contact. Works behind the ball well at first base and adjusts to it nicely, sound footwork and repeats well off the bag, good carry on throws across. Righthanded hitter, begins with a spread stance and a high hand set and back elbow at the plate; utilizes a low leg kick trigger for timing in the box. Strides onto front side and occasionally gets mistimed, long swing path, has present bat speed through the zone, tends to open front side early. Very good student.
