Braden Benton is Lamar’s table-setter with pop and patience
In the 2026 season, Braden Benton has been a steady middle-of-the-order threat for Lamar, hitting .232 with 8 doubles, 2 home runs, 23 RBIs and a team-leading 32 walks, which points to a disciplined, on-base-oriented approach[2]. He also came up in key moments late in the year, including a home run in the regional opener against Texas A&M and multiple run-producing swings in conference play[3][4][5]. At 5-foot-10, 230 pounds, he looks like a physical bat who can grind at-bats and hurt pitchers when they miss in the zone[1][2].
