Scouting Report

Really strong day at the plate for 2029 LHP/IF Ben Cheek (NH) with multiple base-hits this afternoon.

Feel to manipulate the barrel in-zone and deliver solid contact within an all-fields approach. @TEAMELITENATION @PBNewEngland #PBTYouthCup pic.twitter.com/TDTFJrMFtn

5-foot-11, 180-pound left-handed hitting corner infielder and right-handed pitcher. He ran a 7.7 sixty at the event. The approach in the infield was athletic and the glove plays. The arm is clean, throwing 82 mph during the infield workout. The bat had an exit velocity of 95 mph. The setup was wide in base and the path is uphill to contact. He shows good life in his hands.
