| Career Transactions | |
| Selected by Red Sox in first round (seventh overall) of 2015 draft; signed June 30, 2015 | |
| Background | |
| A draft-eligible sophomore in 2015, Benintendi skyrocketed to the seventh overall pick and the BA College Player of the Year. | |
| What to Watch For | |
| Very average-sized, Benintendi succeeds thanks to an exceptional plate approach and strong forearms. Red Sox general manager Dave Dombrowski recently said Benintendi was ready defensively for the majors, but still needed polish on offense. |
