Benjamin Hauser is a 2022 RHP/1B, OF with a 6-0 155 lb. frame from Livingston, NJ who attends Livingston. Medium and lean frame with narrow shoulders and plenty of room to fill. Ran a 7.14 second 60 yard dash. Primary righthanded pitcher, low effort delivery sitting on his back leg before driving to the plate, strides online to the plate, takes his arm back to a full arm action up to a high 3/4 arm slot, will improve fastball velocity with improved arm speed, will create extension when releasing out in front. Fastball topped out at 78 mph and stays straight to the plate, can work the pitch to both sides of the plate, mixes in a 12-6 curveball with developing spin, flashed a changeup with short fading action. Secondary first baseman, fields the ball out in front with developing hands, sees it in and makes quick turns getting on top of his throws. Also worked out in the outfield, charges the baseball well using a compact arm action into throws, releases from a high 3/4 arm slot, flashed footwork but needs refining, topped out at 79 mph from the outfield. Righthanded hitter, sets up at the plate with a spread out stance and a high hand set, weight sits on backside, takes a downhill swing plane into stroke, long swing and upper half dominant. Good student.
