Kiké Hernández, known for his vibrant personality and key contributions to the Los Angeles Dodgers, revealed a remarkable moment during his postseason experience. In a podcast with Kevin Hart, he shared how he played through an infection following a root canal. Despite the discomfort, he was thankful to strike out rather than risk embarrassing himself further. His impressive postseason statistics highlight how he elevated his performance from the regular season, solidifying his role as an essential player in the Dodgers' recent World Series victories.
"I had a root canal, they didn't put a crown over it, and turns out it cracked and got an infection...I struck out in three pitches, and let me tell you, I have never been happier to strike out in my entire life."
Hernández transformed from a .229 regular season hitter to having a .294/.357/.451 slashline with an OPS of .808 during the postseason.
