Coates stands a sturdy 6-foot-1, 190 pounds. Great size for his age with an emphasis on strength training to help take him to the next level. Pitching- On the mound he starts to the far third-base side, hands high with a fast tempo to his delivery, a slight squat on his drive leg before he powers towards home. He keeps tucked over his center of gravity, arm-action is down and deep towards the SS, little restrictions, throws from a mid-to-high 3/4 slot, at times getting his hand on the side of the ball creating cut type fastballs and breaking pitches. Fastball sat 78-80 mph with more left in the tank, curveball 67-69 with more slider feel. Overall, Ben has a real chance on the mound being left-handed and already showing some projectable tools. Serious strength training will only benefit the 2019 graduate.
