Scouting Report
1/27/18
Prediger is a must follow in the 2019 class, trending upwards each time we see him. The Calgary College Prospect Showcase was no exception, showing off his improved bat speed making loud contact during his round of BP and an exit velocity that topped out at 87 mph. With room to add strength and size to his frame it would be no surprise to see that number climb in the near future. Standing at 6-foot, 185-pounds with an athletic frame that should easily transfer to second base at the college level, he shows smooth actions and mannerisms on the infield. Behind the plate Ben showed off his ability to transfer the ball efficiently resulting in a pop time of 1.95 and a velocity of 75 mph. There is definite need for improvement with his foot speed as his 40 yard dash time was 5.31 seconds, but overall Ben is a very promising prospect heading in the right direction.
