What to Expect From the Rookies

Andrew Friedman characterized 2023 as a “Transition Year” long before the 2023 season started. I do not think that Dodger Fans fully understood what that really meant. In 2022, the Dodgers won 111 games, but in 2023, they “only” won 100 games as they utilized sixteen (count ’em, 16) rookies in their transition year. Here are the rookies who debuted in 2023:

Nick Robertson (traded in the deal for Kike Hernandez)

Gavin Stone

Bobby Miller

James Outman

Miguel Vargas

Michael Busch

Jonny Deluca

Emmet Sheehan

Michael Grove

Ryan Pepiot

Yonny Hernandez

Luke Williams

Tayler Scott

Justin Bruihl

Andre Jackson

Gus Varland

Not all of them are impact players. Shoot, not all of them are still in the Dodgers Organization!…
