LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2016 National Showcase
Donovan Benoit is a 2017 RHP/1B/OF with a 6-3 191 lb. frame from Pensacola, FL who attends Pensacola Catholic HS. Very projectable athletic build, good present strength with plenty of room for more. Deep long arm action in back, gets very good extension out front with lots of downhill plane. Fastball topped out at 91 mph, mostly straight with occasional running action. Gets some power to a mid-70's fastball but spin was inconsistent, flashed potential. Two-way potential, right handed hitter with lots of power potential and raw bat speed, has some backside collapse in his swing that creates lift and ball carries well off the barrel, rotational pull oriented swing. Runs very well for his size, 6.87, and plays both first base and the outfield. Good student, verbal commitment to Tennessee.
