Upon signing in 2021, not much was known about this young Nicaraguan. But Godwin Bennett has produced the best seasons of any right fielder who finished the season in the White Sox rookie leagues, for two years running.

Signing after 2021’s International Signing Day on March 25, he actually got off to a fairly slow start. However, once the calendar turned to September, he slashed .298/.443/.574 with two homers and seven stolen bases. For the year, Bennett slashed .235/.337/.441 in 33 games with two doubles, three triples, four homers, 15 RBIs, nine stolen bases, 18 walks (17.0%), 35 strikeouts (33.0%) and 135 wRC+.

Despite aging out of legit DSL competition and having had a strong finish, Bennett was returned to the Dominican Republic for 2022, and mashed hell out of the ball. Still just 1.3 years older than his average foe, Bennett wreaked havoc on opponents, flashing signs of five tools.

Bennett absolutely will move Stateside for 2023 and should be on a track that sees him in Kannapolis by season’s end.
