ABOUT CARSON BENGE

Outfielder Carson Benge was selected by the New York Mets with the 19th pick of the first round of the 2024 amateur draft, out of Oklahoma State University. He was coming off an excellent sophomore season in which he had batted .335 with 18 homers and 64 RBIs in 61 games. He was a two-way player in college, also pitching in 18 games for OSU in 2024 and earning 3 saves while going 3-2, 3.16. In 2025, he played at three different levels, starting in High-A with the Brooklyn Cyclones, before seeing action in AA with the Binghamton Rumble Ponies and AAA with the Syracuse Mets. In 116 games, his slash line was .281/.385/.472 with 15 homers and 73 RBIs. He turned a good performance at the plate in Grapefruit League play into a spot on the Opening Day roster and a starting job in right field on Opening Day, March 26th.

This Mets collection spans the entire 2026 Topps Chrome and Finest spectrum, with nine cards across base, refractor, and insert categories. The grouping includes three numbered base versions from Finest, the Chrome Sapphire Edition base, plus the Arrivals and Future Stars inserts that mark his arrival to the majors. A Gold X-Fractor and standard Refractor round out the parallels in this first-year ensemble.
