In what appears to be a never-ending cycle for the Los Angeles Dodgers, the team is once again struggling to hit left-handed pitching.
The Dodgers previously made moves to address the issue in 2018 when they traded for Brian Dozier and 2019 with the signing of AJ Pollock. However, the trend continued into 2020 but the Dodgers were able to overcome it to win the World Series.
This season, the Dodgers acquired Albert Pujols to help fix their woes against southpaws. While Pujols has performed better than anyone could have hoped with a 219 wRC+ against lefties, the team is still struggling to consistently hit against left-handers.
