Even though he had the opportunity to suit up in a pinch and sit in the bullpen at one Cactus League game last year, righty pitching prospect Trevor Oaks is still excited for his first official non-roster invite to the big league camp of the Dodgers, and hopes to take advantage of every single moment.
Although he never appeared in the game, Oaks filled the empty spot on the pitching staff last spring when Mike Bolsinger initially suffered an oblique injury during the tail end of Cactus League play. This year, though, he’s in the major league camp from day one, garnering the full attention of the entire staff, including special assistant Orel Hershiser, a new addition to the coaching crew taking over for the departed Greg Maddux.
