July 2020Personal Statement
I’ve always been a standout player among my peers and competition growing up, however I’ve always wanted to continue to improve. When I joined Twelve Baseball, I realized there are many great players in Texas. 2018 was my first year with Twelve Baseball and I realized that if I don’t continue to elevate my game, I’d be passed up players and lost in the crowd. This motivated me to prove to the coaches that I deserve to be on the top teams and that I’m a D1 player.
Twelve Baseball provides an amazing opportunity for me to play in front of many college coaches. This experience has allowed me to embrace competition and motivates me to rise above the competition and be a great team player.
I believe that I can thrive as a college athlete because I excel academically, and competing for a starting job will only make me a stronger player both mentally and physically. I know that I have what it takes to be a leader and a fantastic player and scholar for your team!

- Benjamin is an athletic OF who has a promising future on the diamond. In the OF not many balls get down that are hit his way (6.51 60 time). Transfer exchange is smooth as he zips throws (90 mph velocity) on a line through his target. He has the versatility to play all 3 OF spots effectively. At the plate, he continues to shine. He stands in with a solid/strong base and has fluid rhythm to load. Barrel delivery is short/quick with aggression (87 mph exit velocity) as he connects with power driving to all parts of the field. Power shows best to the pull side. With 2 years to further develop, Benjamin has tremendous upside and will get looks from collegiate coaches.
