Information AboutGary Bennett |
|
Bennett made his major league debut in 1995 for the Philadelphia Phillies after the Phillies drafted him in the eleventh round of the 1990 amateur draft. He was a member of the Boston Red Sox organization in the 1997 season, but he returned to the Phillie organization the following year where he stayed until he was traded to the New York Mets for fellow catcher Todd Pratt on July 23 , 2001 . Bennett played in one big league game for the Mets (going 1-for-1) before they traded him to the Colorado Rockies a month later. He stayed with the Rockies in 2002 , getting over 200 at-bats in a season for the first time in his major league career. He then signed free agent deals with the San Diego Padres for 2003 (where he eclipsed the 300 at-bat mark for the first time), Milwaukee Brewers for 2004 , Washington Nationals for 2005 , and St. Louis Cardinals for 2006 . Bennett is known as a defensive catcher. But, when he is hitting it is usually the complete opposite. It seems like when there are no runners on base he usually strikes out, and when there are runners on base he usually will hit into a double play. CAREER STATS
