Since Andrew Benintendi’s all-everything season in 2015, a number of Arkansas players have attempted to replicate what he did in the summer of 2014, which was to stay in Fayetteville and workout every day instead of play summer baseball. I’ve heard a lot of people refer to this as “the Benny program.”
Casey Martin told me yesterday that he plans to do that this year instead of play summer baseball, so it will be interesting to see whether he could have a big freshman to sophomore jump like Benintendi did. I think Martin might be the program’s next first rounder.
