Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Will Smith is excelling in the 2025 season, boasting a .325 batting average and leading the National League with a .424 on-base percentage. He shows remarkable efficiency with runners in scoring position, hitting .433 with 36 RBIs. Manager Dave Roberts is optimistic about Smith's sustainability in performance, attributing it partly to rookie Dalton Rushing allowing Smith more rest. Unlike past seasons affected by injuries, Smith seems healthy and prepared for a strong second half, leading to high hopes for his continued success as a potential All-Star.
I think he's fresh, he's healthy, obviously getting to a lot of balls, specifically the heater that he wasn't in the last couple years, certainly at the end of both seasons.
There's been some injuries that he's dealt with, but I do think that if we can kind of keep his legs in line, sharp and fresh, I think this - the performance is sustainable.
