Benitez is 5-9 with a 170 pound athletic frame that has some strength present and some projection left to it. He hits from the right side from an open balanced athletic stance, leg kick stride on line, smooth load back to a slight wrap. Hips rotate completely and he maintains good lower half balance. Hands stay inside, short to the ball, slightly uphill line drive swing path, some strength at contact with extension through the ball, showed a good approach working primarily gap to gap, extra base power present in the alleys with some more to his pull side, exit velocity was 90. Behind the plate, gains ground during exchange, throws from a high three-quarters arm slot, short arm action, position velocity was 68 and pop times 2.20-2.45. Showed some accuracy on his throws. Receiving, works with knee down, works down to up and sways body behind ball. Ran a 7.56 60 yard dash. On the mound, he throws from a high three-quarters arm slot, short free arm action and normal effort to his delivery. Drop and drive delivery, shoulders are uphill and closed, lands closed with an athletic finish. Fastball was 74-76, with some downward angle and some late cut to it. Curveball was 61-64 with good armspeed and big sharp 11/5 break to it. Change-up was 64-65 with some armspeed and some late cut to it.
