Kiké Hernández Reveals Reason for His Slow Start to Dodgers’ 2025 Season

Kiké Hernández’s start to the 2025 season has not been ideal.

The two-time World Series champion is slashing .103/.163/.410 through 12 games. Hernández has struck out in over a third of his at-bats, recording 14 strikeouts across 39 at-bats.

Although Hernández is striking out a lot, when he is able to make contact with the ball, he is hitting them out of the park. The utility man has hit four home runs so far this season, which is already a third of the 12 of home runs he hit in 2025.

“Not great,” Hernández said to the Orange County Register’s Bill Plunkett about the start of his 2025 season.
