Dodgers' Dalton Rushing, a 25-year-old back-up catcher, is trying to cement his position in the team's star-studded team after a difficult debut season as a rookie. His rookie season ended with a batting average of just.204 over 155 plate appearances, while he spent most of his time on the bench and building a rapport with pitchers behind the scenes. Despite this, Rushing was passed over for more playing time when the opportunity arose. His primary position is currently held by All-Star backstop Will Smith, who is under contract for the next eight years. Where Rushing fits into the Dodgers’ long-term plans remains uncertain. He has been in trade rumors before, but is preparing himself for potential opportunities.
