Many posters on here have noticed an increase in mass for Benintendi. He came up originally at 170 and was up to 185 last season. He's surely more than that now, right?
Well, he looks slow and per statcast, he's gone from JBJ/Xander speed to Pearce speed over the course of one offseason. What gives?
He said in the past it's been hard for him to put on weight, but that certainly isn't the case. Are the Sox at fault for not monitoring him? Is there some other issue contributing to his speed loss?

I just checked his IG feed. he doesnt post many pix at all but the 2 from feb/march he definitely looks like he was eating/drinking very well this winter.

Italian guys love to eat, especially carbs of course, and you really have to keep an eye on them.

Not trying to fat shame anyone here. It's easy to pick and choose pictures from prior years where he looks a little bigger too.
It's the hair, or lack thereof.
He needs to grow the hair back.
Maybe grow some cojones too, so he can compete at the MLB level again. BTW, he is chubby
The lack of hair has reduced his sprint speed?
2 for 4 with a walk last night.
.803 OPS
It's not like he's sucking.

It’s a Sampson thing...
Absolutely.
But when the Sox have 2 offensive black holes in the lineup, it does put more pressure on Benintendi...
Well since Panda left a couple years ago and Hanley left last year, someone else needs to fill the role of fattest player on the team. Could end up being Devers though!
You guys are brutal. Beni has been solid if not unspectacular this far. You’re looking to find something that isn’t there
Hal sucks
LMFAO.
tell me more how Sale is no longer an Ace.....

If Beni saw an exit velo drop akin to what Sale's velo drop was, then I'd believe it
