EVANSVILLE - University of Evansville head baseball coach Wes Carroll has announced the signing of Ben Stuart to add to the Aces 2021 signing class.

A native of Mason, Ohio, Stuart heads to the River City after competing for Mason High School, just north of Cincinnati. The 17th-ranked shortstop in the state of Ohio per Prep Baseball Report, Stuart helped lead the Comets to a 25-4 record as a sophomore during the 2019 season.

"We are happy to add Ben to this recruiting class. He is a dynamic player that will make an impact to our roster," said Wes Carroll. "Ben is an athletic infielder that flashes a great glove with a strong arm. He also has great bat speed with power potential. I can't wait to see him on campus next fall."

At the 2020 Ohio Unsigned Senior Showcase, Stuart showcased a 76.5 MPH max bat speed and a max exit velocity of 97.1 MPH.

Stuart becomes the ninth signee for Evansville in the 2021 class after the Aces announced eight previous signees in December.
