The makeup of this Los Angeles Dodgers team is primarily older veterans, especially among position players. In that sense, Dalton Rushing and Andy Pages are two of the building blocks of L.A.’s future.
On almost any other team, Rushing would’ve had the opportunity to earn the starting job behind the plate after his performance in the Minors over the past two years. But the Dodgers aren’t just any other team, as they have one of the game’s best catchers on their roster.
Rushing did not put together the type of season expected of a top prospect, as he struggled to find any rhythm at the plate with the sporadic playing time he received as the backup catcher.
