LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2005 National Underclass Dec 28-30
Benjamin Walkley is a 2007 C/OF from Trumbull in Trumbull, CT, with a 5'8'', 165 lb. frame. He has some present upper body strength and strong arms and hands. Walkley stays low and compact on defense and shows solid arm strength and a quick release. His best pop time was 2.00 and he had little wasted motion. He moves well from side to side and has some body life. Walkley ran the 60 in 7.24, pretty good for a catcher. Walkley hits out of a wide stance at the plate with a leg lift trigger and deep pre-loaded hands. He is rotational with his upper half and doesn't get much from his lower body and back side. Walkley creates some bat speed due to his strength and shows some pop to right centerfield. He's primarily an opposite field hitter who will pull the ball more when he gets more from his lower half. Walkley also pitched a bit and showed a 77 mph fastball from a high 3/4's release point and a compact arm action. He is an excellent student off the field.
