Carson Benge, the rookie right fielder for the New York Mets, has made a remarkable turnaround after a rocky start to the season. Initially batting under .200, Benge has surged to a .318 average since April 23, highlighted by a stellar performance on June 4, where he went 5-for-5 with a home run, two RBIs, and three runs scored. His recent form includes a May batting line of .306/.375/.426, contributing to a season total of .265 with seven home runs and 26 RBIs. This performance places him among the top rookies in Major League Baseball. Despite Benge's individual success, the Mets are struggling as a team, currently holding the last position in the National League East with a record of 29-36, trailing the division leaders by 15.5 games. Benge's opportunity in the majors came after the Mets traded outfielder Brandon Nimmo, allowing him to step into a starting role. His previous accolades as a standout player at Oklahoma State University further underscore his potential in the league.
