Pretty much. Beni has a below average sprint speed for LFers. Out of the top 50 LFers, he's 31st. Out of 50, he's 24th running to 1b and he has the advantage of being lefthanded, just ahead of Verdugo.
For defense, he's behind Verdugo for OAA and runs prevented.
I don't think you'd get many Sox fans to say that 2022 Verdugo was a great baserunner or fielder. LOL.
