The 29 year-old was drafted by the Dodgers in 14th round of the 2005 draft and since then has been fighting his way to the starting position. As the son of All-Star outfielder, Andy Van Slyke, Scott Van Slyke has big shoes to fill having his last name on the back of his jersey. With Andre Ethier being out due to an injury, maybe this is Van Slyke’s perfect opportunity to step up in 2016.
2015 Recap
In 2015 Van Slyke played in 96 games for the Dodgers. 74 of those appearances were in the outfield, 21 of them at first base and he also made one appearance as a DH.
