Rounding out the top of this board, RHP Seth Benes (Liberty-Wentzville, 2023; Indiana commit) stays put at 10th overall. A member of Team Missouri at the 2021 PBR Future Games, Benes has done nothing but impress since his outings at LakePoint, and we’ve seen the 6-foot-2, 200-pound right-hander jump up in stuff as well. He pitched at 91-92 mph in his ‘pen at the Preseason All-State in February while showing feel for both his secondaries around the zone. Benes translated that velocity to an in-game look on April 19th, where he sat 88-92 mph and punched out 16 batters over six innings. He toed the rubber at Creekside during the Midwest Premier Super 17, where our staff had this to say about one of the Midwest’s top right-handed arms:
“...Benes showed his usually impressive stuff in a brief outing for the St. Louis Prospects last weekend. The 6-foot-2, 200-pound right-hander pitched at 86-90 mph with his fastball and showed polish for his secondaries, something we’ve become accustomed to seeing from him at this point. Benes, who’s physical stature and family pedigree on the diamond make for a relatively high future on the hill, is one of the top arms in Missouri’s 2023 group”
A recent Indiana commit, Benes showed his usually impressive stuff in a brief outing for the St. Louis Prospects last weekend. The 6-foot-2, 200-pound right-handed pitched at 86-90 mph with his fastball and showed polish for his secondaries, something we’ve become accustomed to seeing from him at this point. Benes, who’s physical stature and family pedigree on the diamond make for a relatively high future on the hill, is one of the top arms in Missouri’s 2023 group.
Seth Benes, Liberty-Wentzville (MO), 2023
Positional Profile: RHP
Body: 6-2, 192-pounds. Physical and projectable build.
Delivery: Quick rocking footwork around the rubber working to an easy pivot foot. Quick pace and smooth rhythm throughout the delivery. Works to a high balance point with a strong weight stack onto the back leg. Hand breaks from the glove at the top of the delivery. High glove front side with repeatable mechanics. Works from the middle of the rubber and strides slightly closed to the third base side creating tough angles on hitters.
Arm Action: RH. High 3/4 arm slot with a clean arm action.
FB: T92, 90.9-91.9 mph. Strong riding life through the zone with some arm side running action at times. T2273, 2159 average rpm.
CB: 71.4-73.0 mph. 11/5 shape with very tight spin. Makings of a true swing and miss pitch. T2694, 2580 average rpm.
CH: 81.4-83.4 mph. Kills the spin efficiently with some arm side fading action. T1567, 1459 average rpm.
