Chris Taylor has arguably been the Dodgers‘ biggest surprise this season. After a scorching start, he has slowed down, but he is still hitting an outstanding .302/.392/.510 with seven home runs and ten doubles across 171 plate appearances. Like on defense where he has moved all over the place, Taylor has shifted up and down the lineup and has hit in all nine slots this season.
He is currently part of a trio, which includes Chase Utley and Logan Forsythe, that has rotated in and out as the leadoff man. Forsythe has usually been the go-to guy, but Taylor has recently started getting some consistent reps atop the lineup.
