The expectation I had for Boston Red Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi during the 2017 season was to be the American League Rookie of the Year, but Aaron Judge had a monster year and Benintendi rightfully and regrettably finished second. But the sweet swing of Benintendi produced a respectable .271 and 20 home runs.
From an observational point, I thought of Benintendi as this generations Mike Greenwell who was a .300 career hitter for the Red Sox of last century. Greenwell – a lefty hitter – hit a career .293 against lefties and was a reasonably capable left fielder.
