Benhardt has a high-waisted frame at 5-foot-11, 165-pounds. The left-handed hitter took a solid round of BP, shows quality feel for the barrel as he stays in the zone a long time with plenty of lag and a loose finish. Simple load back as he triggers his hands and takes a short stride, landing square with separation. Quick hands through the zone as he shifts his weight and rotates through contact. Short path to the ball on a mostly flat plane with strength in the barrel. He threw 86 from the outfield where he plays through the ball with athletic actions, smooth footwork, and an accurate arm stroke. On the mound, the left-hander works from a high slot with long, clean, quick arm swing, high leg lift, tilted shoulders, drop and drive delivery, athletic lower half down the mound with slightly above average effort. He pitched at 80-83 with his fastball, flashing angel. Mixed in a short breaking curveball at 69 mph with 1/7 shape, and a 74-75 mph changeup. Moving forward, the athleticism, frame and left-handedness should catch the eye of college recruiters.
