"“Andy has really matured in the last two years. I think he's figuring out who he is as a Major League ballplayer, figuring out what it takes to be a consistent Major League player on both sides of the ball,” Roberts said on SportsNet LA."
"“I think he's as good a defender in center field as there is. Three years ago, there were a lot of questions about whether he could play center field. He's sort of a middle-of-the-lineup guy, hits to all fields. I'm just really proud of what he's become. To have him as a Dodgers farmhand, we're really proud of what he's done.”"
"Pages had the tools to be an elite center fielder in his rookie season, but still needed to learn the position. He showed off elite arm strength, but his arm value metric was just above the middle of the road. Arm value measures how well an outfielder prevents baserunners from taking extra bases, which requires arm strength and making good reads on the ball. He utilized his good speed for a 73rd percentile outs above average, but there was reason to suspect room for more. This combined for a fielding run value in the 56th percentile."
"Pages made significant strides last season, improving his fielding run value to the 95th percentile. He has maintained that elite level into 2026. Although Pages wasn't able to maintain his blistering start at the plate, he is still the Dodgers' second-most productive bat behind Max Muncy. Pages has hit .326/.368/.500 with 13 extra-base hits and 27 RBI this season."
Andy Pages has developed into one of the league’s best center fielders after a breakout 2025 season. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts credited Pages with maturing over the last two years and learning what it takes to be consistent on both offense and defense. Pages improved his fielding run value from the 56th percentile to the 95th percentile in 2025 and carried that elite defensive level into 2026. His arm strength and speed were present early, but his overall defensive impact grew through better reads and execution. Offensively, he remains a productive bat, hitting .326/.368/.500 with 13 extra-base hits and 27 RBI in 2026.
