"Benge leads the Mets with six stolen bases, and his defense is well above average. His outs above average (range) ranks in MLB's 87th percentile, and his arm strength is in the 95th."
"Benge told amNewYork, 'There's definitely things to work on. But I trust in my ability to be able to adapt and overcome whatever may happen. So I feel like I'll be in a good position.'"
"His 4.27 pitches seen per plate appearance ranks 24th among all MLB hitters with at least 70 plate appearances this season."
"He had the hardest-hit ball in play when he smacked a 108.6 mph grounder to shortstop. It was one of two balls he put in play at over 100 mph."
Carson Benge, a 23-year-old right fielder for the New York Mets, is experiencing challenges in his first month in the majors, batting .136 with a .416 OPS. Despite his offensive struggles, he leads the team in stolen bases and excels defensively, ranking in the 87th percentile for outs above average and 95th for arm strength. Benge believes his offensive breakout is imminent, as evidenced by his increasing bat speed and ability to see pitches, indicating potential for future success.
