The Georgia-born Matt Beaty played an unexpected part for the 2019 record-setting Dodgers. After making his MLB debut on April 30th (and getting a base hit), the 26-year-old posted an on-base-plus-slugging of .834 through August. In that time he saw a lot of action in left field, filling in for the injured AJ Pollock.
By September, Beaty faded a bit and batting under .200 for the final month of the season. Still, he made the postseason roster and collected 3 hits in 8 at-bats.
Now, he finds himself fighting for a roster spot on an overloaded Dodgers team.
