The Dodgers set a team record with 221 HRs in 2017, averaging 1.36 dingers per game. Unfortunately, that power didn’t seem to follow them into 2018. Through the end of May, Dodger hitters were only averaging 1 HR/Game. A far cry from last season’s record-setting pace. Many Dodger faithful were starting to wonder (and worry!) what happened to the power?
Historic Month
As the weather started to heat up in June, so did the Dodger bats. In their 26 games in June, Dodger hitters were averaging over 2 HR/Game. Their 55 home runs led all of baseball and nearly doubled their total for the year.
