Boston Red Sox: What the future holds for Andrew Benintendi

The Boston Red Sox drafted Andrew Benintendi with the seventh overall pick of the 2015 Major League Baseball Draft. Benintendi shot up through the farm system and saw limited playing time in Boston just a year later but made enough of a positive impression to make the team the following season.

In 97 games spanning A & AA, Benintendi slashed .312/9/76/16, a spectacular look at what bright things were to come for the future youngster.

Only one player drafted prior to Benintendi has made any noise at the Major League Level. Tendi was looking like a future core player to go alongside the likes of Mookie Betts, Xander Bogaerts, and Jackie Bradley Jr.
