Ben Ross
Hitting scouting report · 80Grade
Scouting summary
Profiles as a versatile, athletic infielder who can handle shortstop in stretches and likely settles into a multi-position role across second, third, and short. Offensive ceiling looks like a lower-order bat with average game power and below-average but playable hit tool, driven by streaky contact and decent walk rates. If plate discipline and swing efficiency tick up, he could approach everyday value for a second-division club; if not, the likely outcome is a useful utility piece who moves around the dirt. Risk is moderate, tied mostly to whether the bat plays enough versus major-league pitching to justify regular at-bats.
