The Dodgers have been one of the best defensive teams in the league over the past several years, doing it in a somewhat unconventional way. Despite rarely having players who really stand out on defense — Mookie Betts was their only Gold Glove winner in 2022 — they play solid defense as a group.
One of the reasons for the defensive success is their skill at positioning. That skill will be dampened beginning in 2023, as the shift is going away.
