Is This Dodgers Outfielder a Bounce-back Candidate?

"During that Game 7, though, Pages made one of the most consequential catches in World Series history, bowling over fellow outfielder Kike Hernandez and grabbing a fly ball at the wall in the bottom of the ninth inning. That catch kept the game tied at 4-4 and forced extra innings, during which the Dodgers held on for their second straight World Series title."

"He struggled mightily at the plate, batting .063 after going 1-for-16. That one hit was a single and he wasn't walked, meaning his OPS was an abysmal .125."

"The hope is he can continue his strong defensive performance. He was in the 97th percentile in outs above average, the 90th percentile in arm value and the 98th percentile in arm strength."

Andy Pages had a dramatically inconsistent 2025 World Series performance. He played in six of seven games but struggled significantly at the plate, batting .063 with only one hit in 16 at-bats, resulting in a .125 OPS. Manager Dave Roberts benched him for Game 5. However, Pages made one of the most consequential catches in World Series history during Game 7's bottom of the ninth inning, diving over teammate Kike Hernandez to secure a fly ball at the wall. This catch preserved a 4-4 tie and forced extra innings, allowing the Dodgers to win their second consecutive championship. In spring training 2026, Pages is showing improvement with a .500 batting average and 1.355 OPS.
