Even if Bellinger is revived, the Dodgers don’t have a stomachache
The last MVP produced by the LA Dodgers was Cody Bellinger (29). Bellinger batting average in 2019.305, on-base percentage.406, slugging percentage.He won the National League MVP with 629, OPS 1.035, 47 home runs, 115 RBIs, and 15 steals.
But that was the end of the Dodgers and Bellinger’s happiness. Bellinger has since been mired in a slump, and last year, he batted .210, on-base percentage .265, slugging percentage .389, OPS.All he had was a terrible performance with 19 home runs, 68 RBIs and 14 steals in 654. In the end, the Dodgers chose to break up on their own by releasing Bellinger as a non-tender.
Bellinger, who was forced to become a “body of freedom,” built a new nest in the Chicago Cubs and batted this year.328, on-base percentage .379, slugging percentage.With 556 and OPS.935, he succeeded in reviving with 18 home runs, 59 RBIs and 17 steals, marking a turning point in his baseball career.
For the Dodgers, it’s understandable that they have a stomachache. However, the Dodgers are perfectly filling the spot where Bellinger left with the appearance of a late rookie. This is the emergence of James Outman (26), who has newly established himself as the Dodgers’ main outfielder this year.
Outman was the first player to take the big league stage last year and appeared in four games with a batting average.462, on-base percentage.He expected a bright future with 563, a slugging percentage of .846, and an OPS of 1.409, one home run and three RBIs. His annual salary this year is only 722,500 dollars (about 965 million won. However, Outman appeared in 110 games this season, batting .257, on-base percentage .360 and slugging percentage.He is performing better than expected with 436, OPS.796, 14 home runs, 51 RBIs, and 14 steals. At this rate, we can also aim to join the 20 home runs and 20 steals club
On the 16th (Korea Standard Time), the official website of Major League Baseball (MLB.com ) had a time to shed light on 10 new players who showed remarkable growth and mentioned the names of outmen.
“There seemed to be no outman’s spot in the Dodgers’ opening roster this year, but he pioneered his position with his strong performance in spring training and won the National League Rookie of the Month in April,” said “MLB.com .”
In this year’s exhibition games, Outman hit .283, on-base percentage .391, slugging percentage .566, OPS .957, three home runs, 11 RBIs, and one stolen base, and in April alone, he hit .289, on-base percentage, and slugging percentage.He also made a remarkable performance of winning the National League Rookie of the Month award with 600, OPS.966, six home runs, 18 RBIs, and four steals 메이저사이트
“MLB.com ” then stressed, “Only Freddie Freeman and Mookie Betts have entered more at-bats than Outmen among Dodgers players this year,” explaining that Outman has now completely filled one spot in the Dodgers’ outfield. The fact that he has the largest number of at-bats after Betts and Freeman, who are table-setters for the Dodgers’ batters, can be guessed. Although Bellinger only succeeded in reviving after leaving the Dodgers, there seems to be no reason for the outman to have a stomachache
