Carson Benge is a right fielder for the New York Mets. In 2026 he hit 20 home runs and knocked in 65 RBIs, notching 168 hits across 654 plate appearances in 155 games. His batting average was .282, 15.7% higher than the league average of .244. He reached base at a .346 clip and slugged .430, for an OPS of .776, 7.9% higher than the league mark of .719 — the third best on his team, and 102nd of 465 among MLB batters with 100+ plate appearances. He averaged 88.7 mph off the bat, hit 39.1% of balls in play at 95 mph or better, barrelled 7.3% of them and made contact on 78.6% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 119 wRC+ puts his offence 19% above average. That comes to 3.3 dbWAR — +13.6 runs with the bat, +0.4 for the ballpark, +1.3 on the bases, +1.2 on double plays, -5.0 for the position he plays, against replacement level. It includes no fielding: defensive runs are proprietary and are not estimated here, so the figure credits playing a demanding position but not playing it well.
