Although he hasn't pitched that many games yet, Bennett has 14.11 P/IP, which would be 3rd in the MLB if he were qualified (just above Sonny Gray, who has also been quite efficient!). This is in part to a 99th percentile chase rate of 40.4%, 97th percentile walk rate of 4.5%, and 95th percentile ground ball rate of 53.5%. Normally, southpaws tend to perform worse in Fenway because of the Monster (right?) But Bennett's stats seem like he can still thrive in Fenway due to his characteristics, and get really quick outs.

At this point in the season, Willson is the 6th best hitter in the MLB by OPS, 4th in the American League. It is true that his OPS, which is .966 now, was lower, maybe .920 or so, when the ballots first came out, and he is still behind Rice and Kurtz in OPS. Not to mention Murakami's stellar start before injury. However, he should be right along with these players, especially since his fielding is better than the fielding of all the aforementioned 1B. NOT IN 6TH!

The pitch was a 103.6 MPH heater by Misiorowski. Not to mention it was on the edge of the zone.
