Andrew Benintendi is a good baseball player. It is so easy to get caught up in Option A when you hear names like Juan Soto being thrown around. That’s why it’s necessary to remind yourself that this baseball team is better now than they were before they traded for Benintendi. It’s been impressive to see how he has successfully adapted his approach to Kauffman Stadium in the last year or so.
The All-Star’s successful change proves that Benintendi has extremely good feel for hitting. You may even say he is the anti-Joey Gallo in terms of approach and results.
