The outfield is an issue for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
This season, the collective batting average of Dodgers outfielders is.201, which is tied for the lowest total in all of Major League Baseball with the Kansas City Royals. This season, the Dodgers’ outfielders have produced a combined 0.7 fWAR, which ranks in the bottom 10 in all of baseball. This season, the Dodgers outfielders have a total WRC+ of 78, which is 26th in MLB.
The main source of those stats’ positives is Teoscar Hernández, a free agency signing who is slashing.246/.313/.462 with 37 RBIs, 11 home runs, and a.775 OPS. The Dodgers have 1.2 fWAR from him.
The Dodgers outfielders had a total fWAR of -0.5 sans Hernández. James Outman, Chris Taylor, Andy Pages, Miguel Vargas, Kiké Hernández, Jason Heyward, and Taylor Trammell are among those who fit the description.
Taylor is hitting, while Outman was recently demoted to Triple-A.097, Heyward, Vargas, Hernández, and Pages are platoon players, and Pages is going through his first slump in the Majors.
It’s obvious that the Dodgers need an outfielder, and on Thursday’s Dodgers Dougout live programme, Doug McKain of Dodgers Nation had a clever notion.
Without Hernández, the Dodgers outfielders had a combined fWAR of -0.5. Those that meet the description include Kiké Hernández, Miguel Vargas, Andy Pages, James Outman, Jason Heyward, and Taylor Trammell.
Taylor is hitting, Heyward, Vargas, Hernández, Pages, and Outman are platoon players; Pages is experiencing his first slump in the Majors; and Outman was recently demoted to Triple-A.097.
The Dodgers are obviously in need of an outfielder, and Doug McKain of Dodgers Nation came up with a smart idea on Thursday’s Dodgers Dougout live event.
Remarkably, Joe spent two seasons as a member of the Dodgers organisation. Two years after being traded to the Dodgers for international bonus pool money, he was chosen in the Rule 5 Draft.
