Sam Bennett  
Catcher | Free Agents

Hitting
In past seasons, Bennett has been a bit of a liability with men on base. The book on Bennett is that you can knock the bat out of his hands with an average major league fastball. Let's face facts: Bennett hits a lot of ground balls... and in my book, if you're slow of foot and put the ball on the ground, you're bound to get tied up in the double play. Even though you might not start him, he's not a bad guy to have on your bench for the tough left-handed reliever. You can expect Sam Bennett to hit the ball to the opposite field... that's just the kind of hitter he is.

Baserunning & Defense
His speed is below average and he's not a threat to steal. Bennett is a poor defensive catcher. His weak, erratic throwing arm is his greatest liability.

2025 Outlook
What The Free Agents was thinking when they signed Bennett to a long contract, is beyond me: this guy flat-out sucks.
