2025 Player Outlook
While Benintendi's batting average tanked to .229, which was the lowest of his career in a season where he played in at least 30 games, his 20 home runs were the most he's hit in a season since 2017 as a member of the Red Sox. His Statcast metrics rebounded closer to his career averages, and the combination of harder contact and more fly balls (first time above 30 percent since 2021) led to some increased power production. He looked much, much better after the All-Star break, but at the end of the day, Benintendi is who he is at this point. The power numbers last year are his absolute ceiling, and outside of Luis Robert Jr., who could be playing elsewhere early August, there's no strong presence in this lineup. Conservatively, give him 10-13 home runs with a .240 average and 3-6 stolen bases. Low ceiling, slightly higher but still low floor player.
