When the Dodgers first announced Joc would get time at first base, many fans were excited about Dave Roberts’ decision. Fans were eager to see if Pederson could get comfortable at the position and give the Dodgers some more depth with the lineup.
The experiment was to get Pederson comfortable at first base and see if he could play there in the postseason. The idea behind this was to help with the lineup crunch and ensure more playing time for other outfielders such as A.J. Pollock, Alex Verdugo, and Matt Beaty.
Pederson played 20 games at first base over the last month, and it appears as if his time there has come to an end, for now.
