After a torrid start, Benintendi is hitting .081/.217/.108 in his last 46 PA stretching out over 10 games. That includes at least an 0-26 slump. The good news is he has 6bb/8k so he isn't hacking. His BAbip during that stretch is .097. Just a slump or something to be concerned about?
He's now at basically half a season's worth of games. In 75 games (304 PA), his career slash line is .286/.356/.444 with 28bb/52k and while his defensive numbers are far too small to make any definitive statement, he appears to at least be average.
For comparison sakes, Bogaerts was slashing .304/.395/.464 with 25bb/54k in his first 238 PA of 2014 before turning into a pumpkin. Bogaerts struck out a lot more than Benintendi though, as the latter only has 27 strikeouts through 186 PA this year.
