Andrew Benintendi, signed to a record five-year, $75 million contract by the White Sox, has faced challenges during his tenure. Despite initial struggles with a disappointing batting average (.246), he ended the 2024 season positively, showing potential with a slash line of .275/.346/.538 in the final months. An injury early in spring training posed concerns, but he managed to play as designated hitter. Benintendi expressed more confidence heading into the offseason, indicating he no longer needs to search for solutions to his performance issues as he did in previous years.
[I] feel good about it. Past few years, I've gone into the offseason trying to figure that out. [I] didn't have to search as much [this offseason].
His slash line with the Sox of .246/.309/.377 is far below his Boston slash line (.273/.353/.435).
The veteran outfielder suffered a non-displaced fracture on his right hand after being hit on his hand by left-hander Logan Allen.
His third at-bat was an improvement, flying out to right field after getting a good swing on a sinker in the zone.
