William Benson - 2016 MLB Draft


Twins Video

William Benson is a 6'6", 220 lb. outfielder from The Westminster Schools in Georgia who will be seventeen at the time of the draft. Benson continues the long line of toolsy players from the Georgia prep ranks, and his athleticism is what stands out the most on a baseball field. Will has some of the best raw power in the class and he hits well on the inside part of the plate, but he needs to improve his coverage on the outer part of the plate. The Duke commit has a compact swing that works well for him, yet he can get caught up in the moment and start loosing control. He has fallen down boards somewhat as the spring has progressed, so if he is not taken in the first round signability could be an issue. Benson has a lot of natural baseball talent, and he plays good defense in the outfield and at first base, but his size will result in an eventual move to right field. The Twins are paying close attention to Benson, and if the players at the top of their board are gone it would be no surprise to see them take him.
