In his first season with the Los Angeles Dodgers, Logan Forsythe had a subpar year by his standards and expectations. At the time of being acquired for pitching prospect Jose De Leon, Forsythe was tabbed as not only the answer at second base but atop the lineup as well.
He was hit by a pitch on his toe and sustained a fracture that was expected to only require a two-week recovery. But Forsythe suffered from hamstring tightness while on a rehab assignment, and wound up missing one month.
The 30-year-old struggled to find any consistency at the plate throughout much of the season but in September began to reap the benefits of improved swing mechanics and a more aggressive approach.
