"The beautiful thing about the postseason is that once we get to the postseason, everything starts at zero and nothing really matters about the 162. ... You can have a bad year and you flip the script and you start over in the postseason, you have a good postseason, help the team win, we win it all, and nobody ever remembers what you did in the regular season. Everybody remembers what happened in the playoffs."
"I know they brought me here for these type of moments. It sucks for 162 games that it didn't go well. But once we get here, it doesn't really matter."
"Kik e9 is obviously an energy-giver. When he's playing, playing well, guys feed off of that. October Kik e9 is something pretty special. And the track record speaks for itself. Throughout history, he's one of the best throughout history of the postseason."
Kike Hernandez has a history of markedly better postseason performance, exemplified by a .500 batting average, three runs and one RBI in the Dodgers' 2025 Wild Card series against the Reds. Hernandez views the postseason as a reset where regular-season struggles no longer determine impact and where strong October play can erase earlier shortcomings. His career postseason OPS (.882) far exceeds his regular-season OPS (.707). Manager Dave Roberts emphasizes Hernandez's energizing presence and dependable October production, calling his postseason track record among the best in baseball history.
