The Royals’ 2021 season has been a four-act drama for Benintendi. In his first two and a half weeks of the season, he struggled, batting below the Mendoza line in 16 of his first 17 games.

His bat, though, warmed up as the temperature did. On May 1, he had an 11-game hitting streak, including a two-homer game against the Twins.

By early June, he was flirting with.300, making Dayton Moore’s deal appear like a major gain.

Benintendi made a throw from left field in a game in Oakland in mid-June that seemed harmless at first.

However, it was discovered that he had sustained a hairline fracture of his rib cage, the same condition that had restricted him to just 14 games in 2020.

Benintendi was scheduled to return on July 4, but his stats plummeted. Benintendi had been praised for his on-base abilities prior to the season, but a summer slump saw his on-base percentage drop below .300 in September.

Benny, on the other hand, ended the season strong with a scorching September. Andrew hit.536/.548/.964 with three home runs and 14 RBI during a seven-game road trip to Baltimore and Minnesota.
