| 4/06/24 | Will Benson: Up-And-Coming Dynasty Players. If it is Saturday, then it is time for another edition of Up-and-Coming Dynasty Players. After two weeks featuring players on the Los Angeles Angels, I'm moving to the Midwest and setting my sights on Will Benson of the Cincinnati Reds.
Benson isn't a spring chicken. Now 25, he is a former first round draft pick, selected 14th overall out of high school in the 2016 draft by the Cleveland Indians (now Guardians). A left-handed hitter, Benson fits the mold of an outfielder selected in the first round as he has great size and athleticism with massive raw power.
But the road to The Show has not been easy for Benson as he spent parts of seven seasons down on the farm. So why do I think Benson is an up-and-coming dynasty player?
Let's find out. Source: https://razzball.com/will-benson-up-and-coming-dyn... |
