Tommy Edman's versatility as a player has made him a valuable asset for the Los Angeles Dodgers, especially after being signed to a contract extension. While initially projected to play center field, he’s mainly featured at second base during the Cactus League games, while preparing for various roles throughout the season. Edman’s significant experience at multiple infield and outfield positions positions him as a potential utility player, resembling Chris Taylor's role in the past. He emphasizes the importance of adaptability in a lengthy season where circumstances can shift.
Versatility is one of Tommy Edman's strengths and a key reason the Los Angeles Dodgers traded for him last year before then signing the 29-year-old to a lucrative contract extension.
I always try to stay prepared, regardless of where it looks like I'm going to play...I know there's a good chance I'll be moving around.
Edman has played 718 Major League games, 308 of which have come at second base. He has far more experience in the infield.
A lot can happen over the course of a 162-game season. Edman believes there is a strong possibility the Dodgers will maneuver him all over the diamond.
