After a slow start to the 2025 season, Andy Pages has emerged as a standout hitter for the Los Angeles Dodgers, batting .500 with three home runs in recent games. The team has been patient, supporting the 24-year-old center fielder through his struggles. Guidance from Dodgers' management, emphasizing relaxation and focus on gameplay rather than lineup position, has been crucial. Pages acknowledged that adapting from minor leagues to a major league batting order has been a challenge, but heâs now prioritizing his skills over external pressures.
The team has talked to me and told me to relax, just go out there and play, and things have been working out.
I just never hit in those spots in my career. Hitting in the bottom of the lineup, I was a little bit more passive.
I think it's definitely helped me mentally, but I've kind of stopped focusing on where I'm hitting in the lineup.
Now, Pages has instead just focused on baseball and let his talent come through instead of thinking about the lineup.
