Bear Bensch  
Catcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Hitting
Bensch never has been a patient hitter. He hits righthanders and lefthanders with equal consistency.

Baserunning & Defense
Bensch is an intelligent baserunner with average speed, but he's not a basestealing threat. When you play Bensch you're not putting him in for his glove. Runners take advantage of his weak arm.

2025 Outlook
Bensch isn't cutting the mustard in the low minors. It's time for Bear to investigate other career options, like coaching highschool ball.
