Corey Seager’s first full major league season went better than anyone could have reasonably expected, with the rookie stepping seamlessly into the role of best player in the Dodgers’ lineup.
What went right
Seager set a Dodgers franchise record with 26 home runs as a shortstop. In his first season.
He was the first rookie in MLB with 40 doubles and 25 home runs since Albert Pujols in 2001, and the first LA Dodgers rookie with 40 doubles.
Seager also set LA Dodgers rookie records for hit (193), runs scored (105) and total bases (321).
