Boston Red Sox Report Cards: Left fielder Andrew Benintendi

While he may have been overshadowed by Mookie Betts‘ MVP-caliber season, Andrew Benintendi quietly pieced together a very good 2018 campaign. In just his second full season with the Boston Red Sox, Benintendi was one of the best two-way outfielders in the American League.

With Dustin Pedroia out for nearly all of the 2018 season, it was Benintendi who slid into the second spot in the order, becoming a valuable component at the top of an explosive Red Sox offense. He finished the regular season with a .290 average, an .830 OPS, 16 home runs, and 87 RBIs.
