Due to their depth over the last few years, the Los Angeles Dodgers have become known for platooning and switching their lineup every day based on what hand the opposing pitcher throws with.
With the acquisition of A.J. Pollock, the return of Corey Seager and deeming Cody Bellinger an everyday player, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said during Spring Training that the hope is for fewer platoons and more consistent lineups during the 2019 season.
So far the Dodgers have played two games, one against a right-handed starter and one against a left-hander, and the team’s lineups on the separate days looked very different.
