Mets' Benge Faces Rookie Struggles

0:00On April 9th, the New York Mets are facing a classic dilemma with their top-prospect Carson Benj on the opening day roster. This 23-year-old outfielder has struggled big time early on, going zero for 24 abats before poking a single through the right, side, on Wednesday. That broke his cold spell, but his season line sits at just 4 for 37, good for a 108 average with one home run for Stolen, bases, 5 walks, and 12 strikeouts. This the risk teams take promoting young talent right away, hoping they adjust without getting sent back down. Bang a slow start test at Gamble, as even a small sample like this, can shake confidence if hits don't start falling. Fans and analysts are watching closely, knowing some rookie's bounce back strong while others spiral into doubt. For the Mets, keeping him up means betting on his potential amid the pressure of Major League pitching. The latest is that single giving a tiny spark, but they need more consistency soon to justify the roster spot all year.
