Carson Benge is a right fielder for the New York Mets. In 2026 he hit 13 home runs and knocked in 47 RBIs, notching 116 hits across 467 plate appearances in 112 games. His batting average was .272, 11.5% higher than the league average of .244. He reached base at a .332 clip and slugged .412, for an OPS of .744, 3.4% higher than the league mark of .719 — 5th of 15 on his team, and 139th of 417 among MLB batters with 100+ plate appearances. He averaged 89.3 mph off the bat, hit 41.2% of balls in play at 95 mph or better and made contact on 78.7% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 107 wRC+ puts his offence 7% above average. That comes to 1.6 dbWAR — +4.6 runs with the bat, +1.7 on the bases, -5.5 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.

wOBA uses linear weights measured from this season's own play-by-play rather than published constants, and wRC+ is park-adjusted against that same league. dbWAR is our own open implementation — not fWAR or bWAR — and the full derivation, including its simplifications, is on the methodology page.
