Ben Hofmeister LHP / 1B / Notre Dame Prep, AZ / 2027

7/01/25

Body: 6-2, 189-pounds. Tall, athletic build with room to add size and physicality.
Delivery: Wide base that stays compact within the frame, generating excellent downhill direction toward home plate. Shows solid lower half engagement but would benefit from releasing the ball further out in front to achieve more consistent action. Displays a solid lefty delivery but needs to better conceal his hand and grips during the release, as hitters may pick up on subtle cues.
Arm Action: LH. 3/4 arm slot with a quick, whippy action; on the right track but would benefit from increased hip/shoulder separation to maximize efficiency.
FB: T87, 85-87 mph. T2255, 2170 average rpm.
