Verron Bennett
Relief Pitcher | Port Hope Battery
Pitching He's a pretty good ground-ball pitcher, which I like because ground balls stay in the park. His slider is sharp and breaks both horizontally and vertically. He struggles with his command at times and is still learning to mix his pitches and set up hitters. Bennett also has a decent changeup. Because he can't overpower hitters, Bennett has to fool them instead. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.
Defense & Hitting Bennett has lots of energy. He comes off the mound like a cat and doesn't make many errors. He's average in terms of controlling the running game. Bennett is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Bennett has some pop in his swing.
2025 Outlook The Port Hope Battery signed him to a long-term contract, but don't think they won't drop Bennett like a hot potato if something better comes along.
