Miguel Rojas has been the ultimate team player for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Last season, he served as the emergency everyday shortstop. This year, he willingly ceded the job to a former MVP who had never played the position as a professional.
When Mookie Betts went down with a fractured hand, Rojas was inserted as the everyday shortstop once again and is having one of the best seasons of his career. He has been the ideal replacement for Betts. His defense is superb and he is hitting better than ever.
Rojas is hitting more this year than in his previous seasons with the Dodgers.
