Dodgers: Logan Forsythe’s Defense Saves His Lack of Offense

In 138 plate appearances this season, Forsythe has been one of the least offensively productive players for the Dodgers. Forsythe’s slash line this season: .235/.292/.356.

In his last seven games, Forsythe has swung a hot bat, averaging .368 and slugging .526.

In his second season with Los Angeles, Forsythe is posting similar numbers to last year; which isn’t ideal.

Primarily hitting in the bottom of the order, the 31-year-old is the weakest link in the lineup.

While he has committed several errors this season, more than usual, Forsythe has fundamentally sound defense.

The Dodgers have limited options to fill second base.
