Who's your best bench bat? I'm keeping and eye on Blackmon and J.D.
I've had a small sample size in events with these. Does anyone have a preference? Or any others that just work well for you?
Hell of a time for content and many options.
Bench Bats
SDS
Prestige Reggie vs righties
Prestige Sheffield vs lefties
Prestige Chipper vs both
Thames vs both
Jackie Robinson for pinch running/position flexibility.

Blackmon vs. RHP is practically cheating.
I assume you’re talking the awards Blackmon? Is the awards version much better than the FOTF?

Kiki’s tops now is great for the bench, hits lefties really well can play a huge amount of positions with gold defense

Braun vs Lefties for me. Dude MASHES the ball.
Guy is an absolute stud. Just don't ever let him play the field.

Jim Thome hits a HR off the bench more often than not for me. Bout to just stick him at 3rd lol
This. Dude is insanely good.

Blackmon is my starting LF and he absolutely smashes the ball. I tried JD as a bench bat for 2 games before selling him to try Pache when he came out. Ended up selling Pache and rebuying JD. So out of Blackmon or JD you really can't go wrong with either.
SDS
Thome and HRD Cano for RHP
Posey and HRD Judge for LHP
Yelich/Reggie/Ryne/Jackie in the 5th spot

I hit prestige level 25 and took Springer literally just to finish the Postseason collection and nab trout. No room for him in my OF, but I figured he still a fine righty bench bat.

Yes. I hit well with the FotF, but the awards card is a whole other level.

I rotate my bench alot depending on who I'm trying out in the field. I use the HRD guys because I did the set and they are no sell. Plus alot of them are just not good defensively.
So against righties its Cano/ Griffey. Lefties is Pete/ Judge. Jackie/ Biggio is my pinch runner/ defense. Motm Correa also is clutch for me. Really depends on the pitcher they are facing, finesse vs power pitchers.
