"His at-bats have been really good this week. Up to seven hits already. No one else on the team has more than four."
"The biggest key for Pages to take the next step as an established major leaguer is improving his plate discipline."
"He drew only 20 walks over his final 128 games and recorded a 3.9% walk rate over the last five months-fourth worst among qualified hitters."
Andy Pages struggled in the playoffs, batting .063 in the World Series. However, in the early 2026 season, he has emerged as the Dodgers' top hitter with a .333 average and a home run. His preparation included skipping the World Baseball Classic to focus on the Dodgers. During spring training, he excelled with a .340 average. Improved plate discipline is crucial for his success, as he previously had low walk rates. So far, he has only struck out twice this season but has yet to draw a walk.
