Dodgers: What Could James Outman’s Role Look Like Next Season?

Dodgers prospect James Outman got a brief cup of coffee in the big leagues in late July and early August, homering in his first MLB at-bat on July 31 and posting a 1.409 OPS in four games with Los Angeles. Outman also had a 1.018 OPS in 252 Triple-A plate appearances after posting a .946 OPS in 307 PA in Double-A. Overall, Outman hit 32 homers and drove in 109 runs across the three levels.

Outman’s performance in the minors and his success in his brief stint in the majors has a lot of fans thinking the Dodgers should drop Cody Bellinger and install Outman as the everyday center-fielder.
