Andy Pages is quickly becoming one of the breakout stars of the 2025 MLB season—and a vital part of the Los Angeles Dodgers’ pursuit of back-to-back World Series titles.
At just 24 years old, the Cuban outfielder has emerged as a dependable everyday presence in the Dodgers’ lineup, both at the plate and in the field. His performance has drawn high praise from manager Dave Roberts, who recently stated, “He’s just really swinging the bat well… Confidence is a big thing, and he is playing like an All-Star.” The numbers back up that endorsement: Pages is batting .289 with 12 home runs and 39 RBIs in 59 games, already surpassing or approaching his 2024 totals in roughly half the time.
But Pages’ impact stretches beyond his offensive production. Defensively, he’s been elite—ranking fifth in the majors with 10 defensive runs saved while patrolling center field. His range, instincts, and arm strength have helped stabilize the Dodgers’ outfield, and his contributions on both sides of the ball have made him an irreplaceable asset.
Los Angeles Dodgers Name Andy Pages Everyday Player
When veteran outfielder Teoscar Hernández returned from the injured list in late May, some questioned whether Pages’ playing time might take a hit. Roberts quickly shut that down, declaring Pages an “everyday player” whose role in the lineup would remain intact. That commitment has proven wise. Pages has been red-hot to start June, slashing .429 with five extra-base hits over a 10-game hitting streak.
Still, there are signs that Pages’ offensive breakout might need some fine-tuning to be sustainable. While his strikeout rate has slightly improved (down to 23.2% from 24.4% last year), his walk rate has dipped to just 5.6%, well below the league average of 8.7%. He’s making more contact on pitches in the zone—88.2%, up from 84.8%—but he’s also chasing more and swinging more frequently overall. Among qualified hitters, only 15 have offered at a higher percentage of pitches than Pages. His contact quality also remains somewhat underwhelming compared to peers.
That said, even if his offensive pace cools to something closer to league average, Pages’ defense and athleticism solidify his status as a clear everyday contributor. With Hernández healthy and holding down right field, Pages is locked in as the primary center fielder, while left field will remain a mix of Tommy Edman, Michael Conforto, and occasionally Hyeseong Kim.
Conforto, despite his early-season struggles (.168/.304/.273), is still seeing regular opportunities—thanks in part to strong underlying metrics like a 13.5% walk rate and hard-hit percentages that suggest better results could be on the horizon. The Dodgers are likely banking on a turnaround similar to his post-trade deadline surge last year, when he slashed .273/.329/.529 in 173 plate appearances.
But the story of the Dodgers’ 2025 outfield belongs to Andy Pages. Once a top prospect and now a vital two-way force, he’s proving that his place in this lineup is anything but temporary. If the Dodgers are going to repeat as champions, it’s increasingly clear that Pages will be right in the middle of it—at the plate, in center field, and in the conversation for the National League All-Star team.
