"It was really cool. He's a great guy and really helpful. Wade Boggs is a Hall of Famer. That's crazy in itself, but he didn't act like it."
"It was very emotional. It was a tough one, because just getting to play with him was such a dream. But afterwards, all my teammates that were there in Portland with me were very supportive and just let me know this was a good thing for me."
"I don't try to be anybody different than who I am. I'm a competitor, I'm a tough ball player. I've never been the 50 home run guy or the 100 stolen-base guy, I just kind of go in and play the game hard every day."
"What they focus on with the Dodgers, it feels much more personalized. They're very specific and intentional with, 'OK, you're really good at this. So let's focus on that.' They've made just little minor tweaks here and there that have helped."
Zach Ehrhard, a Dodgers outfielder prospect from Tampa, Florida, was coached in high school by Hall of Famer Wade Boggs, who served as a volunteer assistant coach at Paul R. Wharton High School. Ehrhard joined the Dodgers in a trade that sent Dustin May to the Boston Red Sox, alongside James Tibbs III. Though the trade separated him from his brother Drew, his teammates provided support. In his first spring with the Dodgers, Ehrhard has impressed with a .316/.395/.500 slash line over 43 plate appearances, including five doubles, one triple, three stolen bases, and five RBIs. He credits the Dodgers' personalized coaching approach with helping him make minor adjustments that have improved his performance.
