Carson Benge makes never-before-seen Mets franchise history for a rookie

Carson Benge has made never-before-seen Mets franchise history for a rookie this season, becoming the first and only Mets rookie to achieve a 20/20 season with 20 homers and 20 stolen bases. As the 2026 season winds down, Benge has proven himself to be a standout player, boasting a .277 batting average in 585 at-bats, 84 runs scored, 162 hits, 21 doubles, three triples, 20 homers, 64 RBIs, 50 walks, 140 strikeouts, a .768 OPS, and 22 stolen bases on 27 attempts.

While Benge's impressive performance makes him a strong contender for the NL Rookie of the Year, his unique achievement in Mets history is a testament to his success in his first season in the big leagues.
