CJ DiBenedetto brings strike-throwing upside to Central Connecticut
DiBenedetto is a pitcher to watch because his profile has consistently shown run prevention, strike-throwing, and enough pitch mix to keep hitters from sitting on one look; in high school, he posted a 1.31 ERA with 22 strikeouts in 16 innings, and later logged a 1.95 ERA with a .207 opponent average. For a staff looking for a dependable arm with competitive feel and a history of missing bats, he fits as a low-drama, high-utility addition rather than a pure velocity headliner.
