"Bennett has turned in a sparkling 0.86 ERA across 21 innings (five starts) in Worcester to begin his tenure in the organization. He has fanned a below-average 20.3% of his opponents but also owns a brilliant 3.8% walk rate and a mammoth 58.9% ground-ball rate so far in 2026."
"Bennett sits 93 mph with his heater and doesn't miss all that many bats, but he has six pitches at his disposal and is credited with plus (60-grade) command on the 20-80 scale. His feel for location and that deep array of pitches helps him keep hitters off balance."
"Entering the season, Bennett was 10th or 11th on the Red Sox' rotation depth chart, but Boston has been hit with a huge number of injuries. Ace Garrett Crochet just landed on the 15-day injured list due to shoulder inflammation."
Jake Bennett has been officially recalled by the Red Sox to make his major league debut against the Astros. Acquired from the Nationals, Bennett is a 6'6″ lefty who has excelled in Triple-A Worcester with a 0.86 ERA over 21 innings. Despite a below-average strikeout rate, he boasts a low walk rate and a high ground-ball rate. Bennett has six pitches, with his changeup receiving the highest grades. The Red Sox's injury woes have necessitated his call-up, as several pitchers are currently sidelined.
