A.J. Pollock’s first season with the Los Angeles Dodgers did not go as planned as he was largely unable to overcome his reputation of being an injury-prone player from his time with the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Pollock suffered an elbow infection in April that cost him almost half the season. When he returned in July he was a productive player and finished the regular season hitting .266/.327/.468 with 15 home runs, 49 runs scored and 47 RBI in 86 games.
However, Pollock struggled mightily in the postseason, going 0-for-13 with 11 strikeouts and a walk in the Dodgers’ National League Division Series loss to the Washington Nationals.
