However, his power-hitting display was missed in 2020, his junior year, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In 2020, he also competed in the Perfect Game, America's largest baseball scouting service for Major League Baseball (MLB). He managed to win the Perfect Game All-American Classic Home Run Derby and was also named the 2020 All-American Classic Player.
On November 28, 2020, he announced, via an Instagram post, that he has committed to play college baseball for the Virginia Cavaliers. Although he has committed to play for the Virginia Cavaliers, there might be a possibility that he might not play for that team.
It is because of his amazing performance in the Perfect Game, which impressed quite a few MLB scouts. As per sources, it is reported that Benny is the 16th ranked prospect in the 2021 MLB Draft and he is projected to be a top 15 pick.
The 18-year-old baseball player's earnings and net worth are not disclosed and are under review. It is because he hasn't played in a big league, like MLB, or college baseball and high school players don't earn that big sum.
However, as there are high chances of Benny getting drafted within the first round of the 2021 MLB Draft, it is assured that he will be earning a healthy sum and his net worth will rise soon. It is reported that the starting salary of a rookie MLB player in 2019 was $555,000, with the amount increasing as per the player's stats.
