Carson Benge Cooling Off at the Plate, Still Flashing Tools in Rookie Season
New York Mets outfielder Carson Benge has struggled at the plate recently, hitting just .115 over his last seven games. The 23-year-old showed strong form in mid-May with six multi-hit performances across eight games, but his production has cooled since that stretch. The early-career upside remains clear, but consistency continues to be the primary hurdle. Through 54 games in his rookie season, Benge is slashing .242/.308/.326 with a .634 OPS. He continues to stand out defensively and on the bases, including a 93rd percentile baserunning run value and 98th percentile arm strength. Benge should remain in the lineup regularly as the Mets evaluate their young outfield options, but his fantasy value depends on whether the bat can stabilize.
