The Dodgers’ Enigma: What’s Holding Back Baseball’s Most Promising Powerhouse?
Will Smith has looked like one of the best hitters in baseball, Andy Pages has taken the next step developmentally and Max Muncy has stayed on the field more frequently (he’s missed significant time this year but has already played 15 more games than he did last season).
But the Dodgers have been worse by OPS+ at the other six positions (including DH).
Some of those are minor differences (Ohtani is still an MVP candidate, Freddie Freeman is still a middle-of-the-order caliber bat) and some are much more dramatic (Michael Conforto has not been the answer in left field.)
