Oregon Uncommitted Spotlight - '27 INF Bennett Weinheimer
July 6, 2026
As we enter the summer showcase season, Prep Baseball Oregon features an Uncommitted Spotlight, where we highlight standout performers who have attended a Prep Baseball ID event this year. Uncommitted spotlights are meant to showcase players that Prep Baseball Scouts felt showed standout tools, large improvements in overall game, or potential upside moving forward. College coaches and recruiters should be sure to keep an eye on these prospects in the coming months.
This week, we spotlight '27 INF Bennett Weinheimer. The junior from West Linn High School was most recently seen at the PNW Preseason ID this winter.
A medium-framed righthander, Weinheimer's showcase was highlighted by mid-90's exit velocities with plus bat speed. Below is a complete player profile breakdown.
