Will Benson has emerged as a key player for the Cincinnati Reds during their recent games. He hit a three-run homer in a game against the Cleveland Guardians, marking his second consecutive game with a home run. His recent performance, which also includes solid defensive plays, has pushed his batting average to .318. Reds' manager Terry Francona emphasized Benson's positive attitude and readiness to seize opportunities after being sent to Triple-A, suggesting that his current success comes from hard work and determination to improve.
He was dying for an opportunity... He probably did the opposite. He went and played, and now he's getting an opportunity and he's trying to make the most of it.
Benson has been solid defensively, too, making three acrobatic catches in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the White Sox.
In his first at-bat against the Guardians, Benson (2-for-3) struck the biggest offensive blow of the game for either team to help key the victory.
It's fair to point out his sample size is small, but he's making the most of his opportunity.
