5280 SPOTLIGHT

2022, Jayden Benavidez, Pomona, SS/3B.  Excited to see the off-season gains for a talented Uncommitted SS from one Top Club programs in the State, Slammers(Holzemer) .  Jayden has a upright stance that produces great bat speed with some slight lift.  Shows ability to use all fields and has potential for power with development.  Great glove and actions as a SS and versatility to play all infield positions.  3B a great spot for him, as well.  Arm Velo has been 80+
