Dodgers News: Teoscar Hernandez Takes Pride In Being A Mentor
"For me, doing things to help others through what I went through, to me it's a blessing. I'm at a point in my career where doing that makes me feel good about myself and the things that I went through. I thank God that I went through that and now I have the power to show others to not let down, to not feel down, to keep going. Because this is not easy."
"I know those guys are going to be the future for this team and they play my position. A lot of people ask me, 'You don't worry about that?' No, I don't care. I don't think about that. I just want the people around me to be good, my teammates to be great and everybody to be good."
The Los Angeles Dodgers entered 2025 with the oldest roster in MLB, averaging about 31 years old. Teoscar Hernández was above the mean and turned 33 in October. Hernández experienced offensive regression and defensive lapses while dealing with injuries, prompting trade speculation, though general manager Brandon Gomes downplayed a possible trade. Hernández intends to remain in a mentoring role for younger players in the organization. He described mentoring as personally rewarding and emphasized resilience and support for teammates. Outfielder Andy Pages, 24, benefited from Hernández's guidance early in his major league career.
