Teoscar Hernandez shares his take on position change
On Wednesday, Teoscar Hernandez spoke to Yonder Alonso from the MLB Network and discussed his plans moving forward in the 2025 MLB season.
Hernandez addressed his position change from left to right and what that means for him, as the Spring Training unfolds. Talking about being comfortable with the right field, Hernandez said:
"I feel more comfortable playing right field. Obviously, I played a little bit in the first half but for me, wherever they want me to play I'm going to go there. I'm going to work hard and do the best I can to help the team."Moving forward in his statement, Teoscar Hernandez claimed that he feels that going to the right field will be even more better, considering his comfort at right is better than in left field. Concluding his take on the position change, Hernandez expressed:
"Going back to the right this year is going to be even better, I feel more comfortable. You know, this is about how you feel, where you're playing, where you're hitting in the lineup and for me, I think it's going to be better."The 2024 MLB season was quite impressive for Teoscar Hernandez who made sure to give its worth to the fans and team, following his $66 Million contract. Even though Hernandez's contributions helped the Dodgers win the World Series Championship, it would be interesting to see what he could do at right field this season.
Teoscar Hernandez was drafted into the MLB by the Houston Astros in 2011 and made his MLB debut in 2016. Hernandez stayed with the Astros till 2017 before he joined the Toronto Blue Jays in 2017. After leaving the Blue Jays, Hernandez was signed by the Mariners and stayed with the team for one before. In 2024, Hernandez was signed by the Los Angeles Dodgers and has stayed with them ever since.
