Dodgers trying their own Christian Bethancourt experiment with Brett Eibner pitching

Brett Eibner was acquired by the Dodgers back in January for Jordan Tarsovich, who you likely have never heard of before and will not again. Eibner has thus far rewarded the Dodgers with a .313/.389/.688/1.076 line, though granted in a mere 18 plate appearances/

Of course, Eibner hit .193/.266/.353/.619 over 208 plate appearances last year, and with him currently carrying a .429 BABIP and 38.9% strikeout rate, he’s likely still closer to that player. As an organizational depth acquisition, though, Eibner has already provided tangible results for essentially nothing, and his positional versatility of being able to play all three outfield positions solidly adds to his utility.
