  1. Seems to hit for a good average with a fair amount if doubles. I'd like to see him develop a little more power.

    1. Baseball is in his blood, Matt Gamel formerly of the Milwaukee Brewers is his brother

  2. He does seem to be moving pretty quickly through the system. I'd still like to see him develop into at least a 10-15 homer guy. I can't find any info on his defense though. Is he above average?

    1. I haven't heard any above average defensive reports. Average or maybe a tic k or two above, but he's young.

  3. Ben has more than a hit a game, more than half as many walks as SOs (about 1.2 SO to BBs) and 10 Sack' hits. All good numbers, defensively for a kid his age and changing position! Good speed, not great but very good. Seems to have Baseball Instincts which is good, gives him a leg up .
    I mean if Lou Gehrig...a bad fielder...can turn into a good 1st baseman, almost anyone can!

    1. Look at Prospect Reed over here laying down the law on the kids, I like it. Good work.
