Johnie Benbrook
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching He can get groundballs when he needs them in a jam. Benbrook can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. Benbrook has to keep the ball down, especially against lefties, or he gets hit hard and often. In his first taste of the majors, he has kept righthanders in check but wasn't as effective against lefties. He struggles away from home.
Defense & Hitting His pickoff move is only fair. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Benbrook is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Benbrook has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Benbrook as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2025 Outlook Benbrook flat-out isn't ready for this level of competition. Expect the Retired or Inactive Players to send him down promptly. But if you ask me, I'll pass on Benbrook.
