Carson Benge is the New York Mets prospect who should be deemed the franchise’s next center field fixture. While Jett Williams has played there for some reps in the minor leagues as well, his defensive versatility likely has him suiting up at second base more regularly.
Benge is at least a few months into the 2026 season away from having a role of any kind with the Mets. Just 24 games in Triple-A last year with a .178 batting average, he wasn’t exactly making his case to be a shocking roster addition coming out of spring training.
