LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2004 Spring Top Prospect Showcase
OF Ben Maxwell: Maxwell is a senior outfielder from Wisconsin. He’s a pretty good runner with a low to the ground, shuffling type of gait and showed good carry on his throws from the outfield during drills. Maxwell made very consistent solid contact during batting practice during the Showcase. However, his swing mechanics use only his arms and no lower or upper body rotation at all and when it came time to face live pitching with wood bats, this approach wasn’t going to work. He has good hitting ability, just needs to make some adjustments.
