New York Mets AAA
2026 Fantasy Outlook
Benge had a great 2025 season and his popularity is trending up after president of baseball operations David Stearns singled him out as a prospect who could make the Opening Day roster in 2026. The No. 19 overall pick in 2024, Benge was a two-way player in college, and like his friend and org. mate Nolan McLean, that could mean there's a bit of untapped potential still as he gets further removed from two-way duty. A .188 BABIP in 24 games at Triple-A, despite a 52.8 Statcast HardHit%, tanked his numbers to close the season, but the lefty-hitting outfielder still slashed .281/.385/.472 with 15 home runs, 22 steals, a 13.1 percent walk rate and a 17.7 percent strikeout rate in 116 games across the three highest levels of the minors. Benge doesn't have any obvious flaws as a hitter, with the exception of his impact potential against same-handed pitchers (.326 SLG in 123 PA in 2025). While he may be an everyday player long term, the recent trend is for teams to platoon these types of young lefty hitters. He has a chance to play center field, but Benge would be a weapon in right field thanks to his big arm. Read Past Outlooks
