LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2016 National Underclass Showcase-Main Event
Benjamin Ginter is a 2018 LHP/OF with a 5-10 160 lb. frame from Bowling Green , KY who attends Bowling Green High School. Medium build and frame, athleticism, and room to continue to fill out physically and add strength. Posted a 7.76 time in the 60 yard dash. Primary left handed pitcher, worked exclusively from the stretch. Utilized a long arm stroke, crossfire element, cleared front side, and threw from a high three quarter arm slot. Varied arm slots at times with developing ability to repeat release point. Fastball worked 74-77 mph and around the zone. Curveball showed best spin with 1/7 shape and good depth. Also showed a changeup at 65 mph and turned it over well. Secondary outfielder, showed a very quick release and quick arm. Quality arm strength up to 84 mph with a quick crow hop. At the plate, started with a slightly crouched, open stance, high hand set, high back elbow, and a deeper coil pre-swing. Bigger leg lift timing mechanism with raw bat speed. Line drive swing plane that works up to the ball. Needs to calm down pre-swing movement to improve consistency at point of contact. Good student.
