RHP Ben Hites (Greendale, 2025) is righty with a loose arm that impressed during Saturday’s showcase. On the mound, Hites’ overall ease and fluidity of his delivery is impressive, methodically getting to his balance point before athletically working downhill. Out of that delivery, Hites ran his lively fastball that averaged over 14” of vertical break up to 87.7 mph, while strictly 86-87 mph. He also featured a sweeping slider that already seems to be an out-pitch, as it played with sharp and late lateral break, while spinning at a well above average rate (avg. 2,524 RPM). He rounded out his productive three-pitch mix with a changeup that he sold well, and sat in the upper-70s. It seems that Hites has been hard at work this offseason, and he is certainly a very intriguing uncommitted prospect in the state junior class.
Positional Profile: RHP/RHP
Body: 5-11, 160-pounds. High waist, projectable frame.
Delivery: Athletic, methodical tempo, in-line land to home.
Arm Action: RH. Loose and athletic, whippy arm action, 3/4 slot.
FB: T88, 86-87 mph. Life through the zone with ride. T2336, 2186 average rpm.
SL: 75-77 mph. Sharp sweeping action, strikes. T2658, 2524 average rpm.
CH: 77-78 mph. Plays with slight fade, thrown with fastball intent. T1411, 1360 average rpm.
