A look back at the Dodgers’ portion of the 2016 season for catcher A.J. Ellis, which ended abruptly and sooner than just about anyone thought.
What went right
Ellis reached base in eight out of 10 starts from Apr. 23 to May 10, hitting .294/.351/.441 during that span.
In 2016, Ellis moved into 6th place in Los Angeles Dodgers history with 526 games as a catcher, surpassing Joe Ferguson and Paul LoDuca this year.
Ellis had a .341 on-base percentage in May, with seven walks and two strikeouts in 41 plate appearances.
He was 2-for-6 (.
