Eli Benjamin is a 2028 SS/RHP/C with a 6-0 161 lb. frame from Locust Grove, GA who attends Strong Rock Christian School. Lean athletic build with plenty of physical projection remaining. Ran a 7.07 60-yard dash. Primary middle infielder, has solid bounce to the actions and made all the plays, clean and athletic actions working to the spot with feel for angles. Fluid glovework with clean/quick exchanges and was extremely accurate to the bag on throws recorded up to 82 mph. Right-handed hitter, even base with high hands and back elbow in the stance, gets the front foot down early and looks to lift to the middle of the field. Solid hand-eye coordination and performed well in game-action at the plate. Secondary right-handed pitcher, belt high leg lift and lands slightly open at foot strike. Good extension down the slope and threw a lot of strikes with two-pitch mix. Ran the fastball up to 75 mph (2005 RPM). God student.

Swing Efficiency™ is a score from 0-100 based on how fast you move your body compared to other players of a similar height and weight. Our library of over 10,000 hitters shows that for a given body type, higher swing efficiencies generate higher exit velos. PG All-American Arjun Nimmala may only weigh 170 lbs, but he can still hit 103MPH off a tee thanks to his elite Swing Efficiency™.
