LOS ANGELES, CA – Tommy Edman’s acquisition by the Los Angeles Dodgers last summer has proven to be a stroke of genius. The utility player, acquired in a three-team trade, has not only exceeded expectations but has become one of the team’s biggest stars, surprising even manager Dave Roberts.
Edman, a 5’9″ switch-hitter, is currently leading the league in home runs with six in just 15 games. This explosive power surge is a significant departure from his previous career-high of 13 home runs in a season with the St. Louis Cardinals. Edman credits a simple adjustment in his stance for the increased power.
His impressive performance comes after signing a five-year, $74 million contract extension this offseason. Edman’s contributions have already included an NLCS MVP award and a World Series title. His remarkable power display this season suggests he may be on track for even greater achievements. The Dodgers, meanwhile, are defying predictions and are currently leading the NL West, despite an MLB analyst’s earlier prediction that they would lose to the Padres.
