James Outman is the future of the Dodgers in centerfield. The 26-year-old rookie is having an amazing season filled with awards, struggle, and perseverance.
Outman burst onto the scene for the Dodgers last year but couldn’t see much time due to Cody Bellinger and more experienced veterans. This year, Outman has solidified himself as the centerfielder of the future for this team.
The baseball world has been put on notice due to Outman’s amazing second half so far at the plate, but his glove is finally being recognized by analysts, too.
According to Baseball Savant, James Outman is in the 93rd percentile in Outs Above Average and 84th in arm strength.
