Batting Stance Adjustment

Teoscar Hernandez sparks Dodgers surge with a key batting stance adjustment

Teoscar Hernandez, a Dodgers player, has experienced a surge in his season, with a 13-for-34 games. Despite underperforming throughout the season, including a.204 average and a.590 OPS from the start of July until August 25, Hernandez has been successful. He credits his improvement to his stance, which he uses three variations throughout the year based on his physical and other factors. Despite previous leg injuries, Hernandez's resurgence began when it became clear the Dodgers were considering reducing his playing time down the stretch and potentially in the postseason. The team's decision on placing Shohei Ohtani on the injured list is increasing, potentially extending the time they will be without him.
