Los Angeles Dodgers center fielder Andy Pages continued his strong spring training against Team Mexico on Wednesday, hitting a solo home run in the bottom of the second inning.
Pages fell behind early in the count against Mexico’s veteran right-hander Jesus Cruz, but battled off a fastball with two strikes to set himself up. Cruz threw him a slider which stayed up in the zone, and Pages took full advantage. He belted the ball to left-center field, with the ball going a projected 430 feet.
The center fielder has been great for the Dodgers this spring, fully bouncing back from a disappointing postseason at the plate. He had just four hits in 55 plate appearances during the playoffs, recording a singular RBI throughout the Dodgers’ World Series push.
In spring training, though, he is 7-for-19 with four RBIs and two runs scored.
The star won’t feature in the upcoming World Baseball Classic for Team Cuba, as he opted to prepare for the regular season instead of representing his country at the upcoming tournament.
Was Andy Pages Good in the Regular Season?
Despite his struggles in the postseason, Pages was a massively important part of the Dodgers’ lineup in 2025.
The second-year center fielder broke out, hitting 27 homers and tallying 86 RBIs. He also slashed .272/.313/.461, which gave him a .774 OPS and a 114 OPS+ on the season.
His home run total finished second-highest on the team, with only Shohei Ohtani hitting more than him. He also logged a 3.8 bWAR season, and narrowly missed out on the All-Star fan vote.
Dodgers Nation’s Doug McKain commented on Pages’ importance to the team earlier in the offseason.
“Even with the early-career struggles in some areas that are typical for young players, Pages still delivered impressive production,” he said. “He finished second on the team behind Shohei Ohtani with 27 home runs, accounted for 4.1 of the Dodgers’ 4.3 total WAR from outfielders, posted an above-average 113 wRC+, and made what Tom Verducci described to me as the greatest catch in World Series history with his game-saving grab in extra innings of Game 7.”
He’ll look to continue his production throughout the remainder of the game and the spring for the Dodgers as he shoots for a bounceback 2026 season.
