When the Dodgers signed star DH J.D. Martinez this offseason, it was with the idea that a change of scenery would help reinvigorate the five-time All-Star and hopefully turn a few more of them doubles (43 in 2022) into home runs (16 in 2022) this coming season.
Plus J.D. would be reuniting with his old hitting coach Robert Von Scoyoc in Los Angeles, the main guy credited with resurrecting the one-time struggling outfielder’s career a decade ago.
So there’s a reason for Dodgers fans to be excited about the addition of Martinez to the lineup.
