Los Angeles Dodgers utilityman Kiké Hernandez enjoyed a career year at the plate in 2018, setting career highs in games played (145), home runs (21), RBI (52), runs scored (67) and walks (50) while batting .256/.336/.470.
Hernandez reported to Camelback Ranch for Spring Training this year looking to build off that season and earn an everyday role, and after a successful showing, accomplished exactly that. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Hernandez would start at second base, with Chris Taylor moving around.
Hernandez hit .300/.368/.540 with three doubles, three home runs and 11 RBI over 16 Cactus League games.
