Power arm, but command has been the swing factor
Benge is a live-armed right-hander whose calling card has been velocity—reports have him touching 97-98 mph—and he’s shown strikeout ability in college bullpens, including 13 strikeouts in 7.0 innings in the 2026 season for LSU.[4][14] The caution flag is command: in the 2026 season he issued 3 walks in 7.0 innings, and over his two LSU seasons he mixed swing-and-miss stuff with inconsistent control, which helps explain why he’s more of a high-upside relief fit than a plug-and-play stopper.[1][4] If your team wants adrenaline, he’s interesting; if you need clean innings every night, he’s a bit of a thrill ride.
