Will Benson Stats

The Cincinnati Reds acquired outfielder Will Benson from the Cleveland Guardians on Wednesday in exchange for outfielder Justin Boyd and a player to be named later. Benson is a left-handed-hitting outfielder that was taken 14th overall by Cleveland in the 2016 draft. The 24-year-old made his major-league debut in 2022 and played in 28 games, going 10-for-55 (.182) with no home runs, three RBI, eight runs scored and 19 strikeouts in 61 plate appearances. He's been much better in the minor leagues, though, and has an intriguing power/speed combination for a rebuilding team like Cincinnati. There's a good chance Benson will see more big-league at-bats in 2023, and he'll give the Reds some extra outfield insurance with Nick Senzel (toe) questionable for the start of the regular season.
