Reds Outfielder Will Benson Did Something You Rarely See in Spring Training Today

In the Reds' 14-3 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday, outdielder Will Benson did something you rarely see in Major League Baseball.

He hit his third home run of the spring, but it wasn't your ordinary home run. It was inside the park home run. He pulled a ball down the first base line, but the ball bounced around in the right field corner for so long, it allowed Benson to come all the way around to score.

Inside the park home runs are rare. Jim Day spoke to Benson during the game about the rare achievement.

"I tried to contain my joy as much as I could at home, but yeah, regardless whether it's the regular season or Spring Training, it's still pretty fun to do that," Benson said.

His teammates were giving Elly De La Cruz a hard time and telling De La Cruz that Benson almost caught him on the bases.

"Yeah, I don't believe that. But am fast too now."

Benson is battling for one of the final roster spots, but his strong play this spring seems to have him on the inside track.

"A veteran one told me man, don't ever get comfortable. It was Kevin Newman...There is always work to be done. I come into camp ready to go."
