Benintendi is a hold — league average, nothing pulling either way.

His expected wOBA is .315, exactly league average, and he has 430 plate appearances — well past the 160 needed for that number to be reliable. His actual wOBA is .316, so nothing on his stat line is running hot or cold. There is no luck story here to buy or sell. His contact quality is slightly above league: 89.2 mph average exit velocity, a 45.4% hard-hit rate, and an 8.8% barrel rate, all a touch above average and based on 294 batted balls. His strikeout rate and walk rate are both near league average. The only mild flag is a 14.4% swinging-strike rate against a league average of 11.0%, and a chase rate of 33.2% against 28.5%, but those have not dragged his line anywhere. Limited data: no baseline or trajectory to lean on, so this call rests on his first reliable sample of the season. Hold. Just 1 HR / 4 R / 6 RBI / 0 SB / .223 AVG rest of season makes him a drop in all but deep leagues.
