The Los Angeles Dodgers boast excellent catching depth, highlighted by Will Smith and top prospect Dalton Rushing. Rushing had an impressive season, achieving notable stats in the Minor Leagues and earning the 2024 Branch Rickey Player of the Year title. Despite a challenging spring training, Rushing's offensive potential remains evident as he begins his first full season at Triple-A Oklahoma City. Manager Dave Roberts praised his catching skills but urged him to trust his offensive abilities, emphasizing his special talent as a hitter and potential future impact at the Major League level.
Catching, I think, is going great. He's doing a good job building into the pitchers and trying to listen to the pitching coaches and learn how Major League pitchers operate.
He might have went 0-for the spring last year and had a good year offensively. I do think that here he's trying a little bit too hard.
