EDGE Analysis

Once considered a top-100 prospect, Benson fell flat on his face in Triple-A after being promoted last season, and with his lengthy track record of striking out and hitting for low average, it was hard to expect much this year. However, after a so-so start to 2022 that saw Benson continuing to struggle with contact, he's made a stunning reversal over the last month. Over the course of his last 21 games, Benson has posted a .293/.500/.547 batting line with a stunning 32:19 BB:K -- that's a 29.6 percent walk rate and 17.6 percent strikeout rate. There's always going to be swing-and-miss in his game, but Benson's power, speed and patience make him an intriguing post-hype sleeper who's right on the doorstep of the big leagues.
