USSL Low A Picks Top Performer
Monday, July 20th , 2048
With some great hand-eye coordination and a sweet, compact swing, Memphis Music center fielder Juan Benítez took the USSL Low A by storm this past week to take the latest Player of the Week honors.
"The ball was looking like a beach ball all week," a happy Benítez said to BNN reporters. "When it's that big, it doesn't matter where they throw it -- I can hit it anywhere."
The 19-year-old center fielder hit .400 (10-for-25) last week with 2 home runs, 6 RBIs and 4 runs scored.
This season Benítez is swinging the bat at a .331 pace. He has hit 13 home runs and scored 47 times, while driving in 47. His on-base percentage is .365 and he has played in 61 games.
