Mookie Betts and Teoscar Hernández's offensive downturns in 2025 were so sharp and dramatic that they hid another worrying regression from the lineup: Tommy Edman's.
Edman had such a surprisingly hot start to the season — he hit five homers in the Dodgers' first nine games — and then was sporadically injured, so his career-worst numbers sort of fell by the wayside. But a guy who was supposed to be a contact-first bat hit .225 with a .274 OBP. Those five homers in the first two weeks would make up almost half of his total on the entire season.
