Listed at 6-foot-3, 220-pounds, Verges is strong-bodied with a durable build. The southpaw is an athletic mover for his size, working into a high leg-kick and long/flexible stride down the mound. He worked his fastball in the 83-86 mph range with between 15.9”-19.2” of run. He showed tremendous feel for his changeup which was in the zone 100% of the time according to TrackMan, playing with between 14.8”-17.2” of run, 78-79 mph. His final offering was a 1/7 curveball that he kept mostly down, 68-69 mph with developing spin.

Southpaw Ben Verges (Franklin, 2025) is a lean, lengthy 6-2, 200-pound LHP, tossed a five inning complete game shutout with eight strikeouts and two hits. Verges used a fastball-curveball mix to control the zone with a 71% strike rate. A two-seam fastball held 77-79 mph throughout the outing with some slight sinking action. The curveball played with slurve-like movement at 63-66 mph. A tall-and-fall delivery with a big knee kick works directionally in line with home. Verges comes at the hitter with a short, deceptive arm action and a 3/4 slot.
