Committed to Kansas University ... Drafted in the 48th round by the Yankees ... Earned PBR second team all-state honors as a senior ... Earned second-team All-State honors as a junior after finishing with 112 strikeouts to 25 walks in 83 innings. In his first varsity season Benjamin had a 13-2 record and a 1.26 ERA to lead the Saints. ... The 6-foot-1, 170-pound left-hander established himself as one of the better left-handed prospects in the state, and certainly one who will draw a lot of attention in the coming years. Benjamin�s arm works fluidly and with little effort; once he tightens up his mechanics, no doubt he will improve on his 84-85 mph fastball. His 68-70 mph is a plus pitch and will give a lot of high school hitters headaches. Also throws a 75-76 mph changeup with good fade, and a slider.
