🔥 Player Spotlight: Ben Simon
Congratulations to Reliance Baseball's, Ben Simon of the Mets organization on winning the Eastern League Double-A Championship with the Binghamton Rumble Ponies! Since his promotion to Double-A, Ben was lights out — posting a 1.06 ERA across 11 games (17 IP) with 20 strikeouts, a .194 opponent average, and a 10.59 K/9. When the playoffs came, he raised his game even higher, earning a critical 6 out save in Game 2 of the ELCS while throwing 4.1 scoreless innings with 0 hits and 0 walks allowed.
Despite not being a “star” at Elon University, Reliance Baseball identified Simon as a hidden gem at a mid-major program. Our team guided Ben and his family through every step of the draft process, making sure he was in the best position to succeed. The result? A $150,000 signing bonus with the New York Mets — proof that the right guidance can uncover value where others overlook it.
