At this point, we’re starting to wonder if the Dodgers severely underpaid AJ Pollock. The veteran outfielder has been a model of consistency for the 2021 season and continues to hit at one of the best clips of his career.
But it’s a defensive play from AJ that had all of baseball talking this past week. In the first game of the series against the Padres, AJ went up over the leftfield wall and took one away from Manny Machado. That play kept the Dodgers’ lead intact and they went on to win and eventually sweep the series.
