Frederick Bencosme 2022

[waroriole]

Bencosme is still hitting. In 149 ABs at Delmarva he’s hitting .362./.441/.456. 17 Ks to 18 BBs. Hit his 2nd HR the other night. Another IF to keep an eye on.

Not bad for a 19 year old who signed in the middle of pandemic at 17 (Aug 2020), missed that developmental year entirely, and then largely skipped the FCL and went basically right to Low A ball. December birthday, so he’ll be 20 all year next season.

Not too many players in our system who only strike out once every nine times at the plate (10.8% K rate, to be exact).   Not a ton of power there, but at 19 years old, he’s got time to develop some pop.

4-4 yesterday.   4 singles but OPS at 874.

I did wonder if having him bulk up a little gets him in that 10-12 homerun range. Seems skinny.

This video answers the question that has been bugging me the most:  his last name is pronounced Ben-koes-may.

Good reward for FB’s performance while coincidentally creating room at Delmarva for Holliday.

It will be really interesting to see how he handles High-A pitching. He really has shown an advanced bat and if he can put up some numbers at High-A at his age it will really improve his prospect status. 

I'd like to see him the priority play between SS and 2B.

Starting at 2B tonight with Hernaiz at SS, singled in his first at bat. That's a pretty good young double play combination of semi-underrated prospects

Single and a triple in 5 PA.  No strikeouts.   Didn’t miss a beat.   Won’t be batting 9th for long in Aberdeen.

Wow, quite a rise for Bencosme. A bit surprised by the promotion at this point in the season.  Wonder if an effort to make him look more valuable for a trade?

You never know but it was getting crowded at Delmarva with Wagner, Young and Holliday.    Made sense to get Bencosme AB’s in Aberdeen.  They had already promoted Craig and DeLeon who didn’t deserve it half as much as Bencosme.

Its weird that they are batting him 9th behind obvious non prospects. I'm sure it's some kind of ease him in thing, but I've not been impressed with the lineups at the minor league level at times this year. Prospects should be getting the most PAs and should be at the top of lineups over org guys.
