Joe Bendik is a good goalkeeper. His good positioning and quick reflexes allow him to make some unbelievable saves and have him in the running for MLS Save of the Week time and time again. This year, though, Bendik hasn’t quite reached his top form.
So far, Bendik has made 40 saves — the 12th-highest total in MLS — and has allowed 28 goals. His save percentage of 57% is one of the lowest in the league and his passing accuracy of 60% is terrible. The No. 1 area that he needs to improve upon is his distribution.
