The Dodgers optioned Hunter Feduccia to Triple-A Oklahoma City ahead of their exhibition game against the Yomiuri Giants. This decision echoes a previous optioning of another player before international exhibitions. While Feduccia is eligible for upcoming games, his chances of making the Opening Day roster seem slim, especially with Will Smith and Austin Barnes already securing the catching roles. Feduccia showed impressive performance in spring training but ultimately remains a backup plan for the Dodgers as they evaluate their roster dynamics in Japan.
Feduccia's presence is not lost on the organization. 'I do think we see his value.. he really controls the strike zone.' - Manager Dave Roberts
With Will Smith and Austin Barnes established, Feduccia is viewed as the third catcher, valuable in case of injury or roster change.
Feduccia batted .292/.346/.542 this spring, showcasing a strong performance that reflects his potential as a valuable asset to the team.
