Bennett Goforth, Whitwell (TN), 2028 Positional Profile: 2B/RHP Body: 5-9, 146-pounds. Has a lean and athletic frame with a high waist that shows great potential physically. Delivery: Simple windup with repeatable, very solid actions. Does a good job driving off of his lower half that will serve him well as he gets stronger and more explosive. Arm Action: RH. Smooth and easy action with a long swing behind him to a high 3/4 arm slot. FB: T72, 68-71 mph. Showed good feel for command with his FB, more life and velo will come as he grows. Good feel for spinning it with a max VB of almost 20. T1727, 1794 average rpm. CB: 59-62 mph. Very good feel for his breaking ball and spinning it. CB showed big sweeping movement that will miss bats. T2030, 1933 average rpm. CH: 62-65 mph. Good feel for his CH that has some depth to it late, will increase in effectiveness as his velo increases. T1200, 1110 average rpm. ATH: 7.91 runner in the 60. 1.85 and 5.44 in the 10 and 30 yard splits.

Bennett Goforth, Whitwell (TN), 2028 Positional Profile: 2B/RHP Body: 5-9, 146-pounds. Has a lean and athletic frame with a high waist that shows great potential physically. Hit: RHH. Very wide stance with his knees bent, hands begin up above the shoulders in a good position. Has a small stride that starts the swing, the bat goes from a very vertical position as the swing goes. Very vertical turn behind the body and through the zone creates a short path through the zone at times. Showed flashes of staying through the zone and producing hard line drives through the middle of the field. 62 mph bat speed with 9.5 G's of rotational acceleration. Power: 78.7 max exit velocity, averaged 68.6 mph. 261' max distance. Arm: RH. INF velo 71 mph. Accurate throws from an over the top action. Defense: Is confident with his glove and footwork through the ball, will develop more athleticism and range as he grows. ATH: 7.91 runner in the 60. 1.85 and 5.44 in the 10 and 30 yard splits.

Bennett Goforth, Whitwell High School (TN), 2028 Positional Profile: 2B/RHP Body: 5-8, 130-pounds. Proportional build with high waisted attributes and strong calves. Should continue to fill out as he matures. Delivery: Clean windup with slow and controlled levers as he moves down the mound. High leg left that stays strong over his feet with coiling and east uncoiling down the slope. Arm Action: RH. Easy arm action that has some smoothness to it with a 3/4 arm slot. Stays on pitches well with late release. FB: Jumps out of hand decently pounding the upper half of the strike-zone. Will work well to the outside half of the plate. CB: Showed feel for both release point and arm speed intent hiding the ball well out of hand for late release. Was able to locate in zone for strikes as a get ahead pitch, while also breaking it off the plate short for put away potential. CH: 62-64 mph. Spotty with control but showed feel for pronation and staying inside the pitch. Decent fading action to arm side with feel. T1513, 1431 average rpm. ATH: 8.02 runner in the 60. 8.02 in the30 yard split.

Bennett Goforth, Whitwell High School (TN), 2028 Positional Profile: 2B/RHP Body: 5-8, 130-pounds. Proportional build with high waisted attributes and strong calves. Should continue to fill out as he matures. Hit: RHH. Begins with a wider stance with his front foot slightly open. Hands are held higher above this right shoulder even height with his ear. Minimal weight shift rearward, as the bat tips up to a 90 degree angle launch position. Swing rotates around the center of the body into a balanced finish. Barrel has a tendency to drop resulting in lots of weak pop ups. Flatter bat path when barrel is not dropped which produces more consistent contact. Arm: RH. INF-71 mph. Longer arm path that carried present arm speed across the diamond. Defense: Early glove presentation with clean attributes when working to the baseball. Smooth transistions into his throw. ATH: 8.02 runner in the 60. 8.02 in the30 yard split.
