Will Benson is one of the most exciting players in baseball. He plays for the exhilarating Cincinnati Reds, a team loaded with young talent - gushing with star potential.

What's even more impressive than his on-field statistics is his heart for giving back to his community and helping others in need. The 25-year-old Georgia native has shown a desire and willingness to lead by example. He has established a nonprofit (future is near) that focuses on empowering youth and mentoring efforts.
