Andre Ethier had some great moments as a Los Angeles Dodger. Not only was Ethier a plus-defender, he could also hit for average and power. That being said, his ability to perform in the clutch is what made him a fan favorite.
The outfielder explained why he was able to come up big in key moments in an interview on Sportsnet LA.
“I wasn’t really afraid to fail. Some people don’t even think about the failure side. It was a thing where I wasn’t afraid to go up and fail in that situation…there’s more pressure on that pitcher, on that defense than you on that single at-bat.
