Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
Jake Bennett, a 25-year-old left-handed pitcher for the Boston Red Sox, made his MLB debut on May 1, 2026, against the Houston Astros, pitching 5 innings with a 1.00 ERA and 3 strikeouts. In his second start on May 7 against the Tampa Bay Rays, he allowed 4 earned runs over 5.1 innings with 1 strikeout and 2 walks. Through two starts, Bennett has posted a 4.35 ERA with a 9.5% strikeout rate and 9.5% walk rate. The 6'6" lefty from Tulsa, Oklahoma was acquired by Boston in December and had dominated Triple-A Worcester with a 0.86 ERA over 5 starts. After his second start, the Red Sox optioned him to Triple-A Worcester to make room for other roster moves as injured pitchers return. Bennett showed promise in his debut but was underwhelming in his second outing.
