The Los Angeles Dodgers undoubtedly have one of the best lineups in baseball, and they also have depth beyond that, meaning a number of their bench players would likely start in many other organizations.
One player who falls under that category is Matt Beaty, who has begun swinging the bat well after a slow start to the season. In the last five games, Beaty is hitting .500/.571/.833 with a double, home run and four RBI.
That’s a drastic improvement on his .100 batting average and .432 on-base plus slugging percentage through the first 10 games. “Just trying not to chase hits,” Beaty said of the turnaround.
