Andrew Benintendi’s poor performance has been a major factor in the White Sox’s struggles this season. Despite being signed to the largest contract in franchise history, Benintendi is struggling in all aspects of his game, with a batting average of .167, an on-base percentage of .205, and a slugging percentage of .190. His defense has also been below par, with several outfield plays that have been questioned by manager Pedro Grifol. The White Sox, who have a record of 3-21, need Benintendi to turn things around quickly if they want to avoid a repeat of last season’s dismal finish.
