10.9.17 - Recent Lincoln Land CC commit. 6-foot, 190-pound, strong upper-half, wide shoulders, right-handed pitcher. On the mound, short arm action with a slight stab, quick arm speed, high ¾ arm slot. Drop and drive delivery, works on-line, lands square. Fastball, mostly straight, slight run at times, 82-83 mph, topped out at 84. Curveball, 11/5 shape, tight break on occasion, some feel, 66-69. Changeup, fade action, 74-75.
6.6.17 - 6-foot, 175-pound, well-proportioned right-handed pitcher. Deliberate, repeatable delivery, with slight deception. Short arm action out of a high ¾ window. Attacks hitters and worked a quick inning. Fastball works mostly straight, thrown for strikes and sat 81-82 mph. Curveball, 12/6 shape, occasional feel for the zone at 64-65 mph. Also, flashed a changeup for a strike at 71 mph.

1.16.17 - 6-foot, 175-pound right-handed hitting RHP/SS with a strong frame. On the mound works from an over the top arm angle with a short, quick twitch arm action. Tall and fall delivery, normal pace to balance point, uptempo after balance point. Works in line with home plate with a closed toe landing. Fastball was straight at 82-83 topping out at 84 mph for strikes. Curveball has 11-5 shape and flashed late breaking action at 68-72 mph. Changeup was firm at 73-75 mph. At the plate hits from a balanced, slightly open setup with no load and minimal heel lift stride. Pull hitter with a level swing path. 82 mph exit velocity from a tee. 4.51 runner down the line. Defensively has a short, loose arm action. Clean exchange with average hands. Threw 77 mph across the infield.

1.17.16 - 6-foot, 170-pound two-way player, solid build, wider shoulders, projects best on the mound. Tall and fall delivery with effort, short stride, limited back side. Arm action is short, over the top slot. Fastball sat 77-79 mph, mostly straight. 12/6 curveball, 68 mph. Changeup is 68-70 mph, tendency to push, flashed control. Right-handed hitter, balanced stance, short stride, partial lower half involvement. Flashed hard contact, pull side approach. 79 mph exit velocity from the tee. Defensively arm played similar to that on the mound, 74 mph across the diamond. 7.94 runner in the 60.
10.4.15 - 6-foot, 165-pound athletically built right-handed hitting two-way player. On the mound, throws three pitches for a strike, change-up potentially being a swing and miss out pitch. Feel for the change-up, fastball arm speed, flashed deception and sinking action, ranged between 68-70 mph. Fastball thrown for strikes, slight arm-side-run and sat 76-79 mph. Curveball worked 11/5 with some depth, 63-65 mph. Short and quick arm action, high ¾ slot and some rhythm in delivery. In his one inning stint during game play Bender retired the side in order, striking out one. Should be watched closely moving forward on the mound. Offensively, the right-handed hitter showcased a simple swing with not a lot of moving parts. Starts from a slightly open, balanced stance and short stride. Registered an exit velocity of 80 mph. Defensively, on the infield flashed soft, reliable hands, clean exchange. Short arm action, ¾ arm slot and accuracy, clocked at 71 mph across the infield. Also, ran a 5.08 home-to-first.
