OF Ben Van Den Hoven is an unsigned senior out of the Whalley Chiefs program and his two rounds of BP at the event were unquestionably the loudest. Sheer strength in the box at 6-foot-2, 210-pounds and the right-handed hitter flashed his strength, elevating to the middle and pullside. Van Den Hoven’s peak exit velocity of 95.7mph (85.7mph avg) and peak distance of 357ft (258ft avg) were both tops at the event. The Whalley Chiefs outfielder rounded out his day with a positional velocity of 78mph and 60-yard dash of 7.18. Quality showing from Van Den Hoven who will be a middle of the order bat to follow in the Whalley Chiefs program over the next ten months.
