Kobe Benson gives EKU a versatile infield bat with switch-hitting value
Kobe Benson is a useful Eastern Kentucky infield piece because he brings roster flexibility, switch-hitting ability, and steady defensive utility, while his 2026 production has been modest so far at .237 with 1 home run and 11 RBI. He’s a fit for teams that value adaptability and a contact-oriented middle-infield profile over pure power, and his current role suggests a player trusted to handle multiple situations rather than carry the offense.
