After a dream resurgence last season, Trayce Thompson has even bigger goals in mind for 2023 as he also prepares to play for Britain in the WBC.
Trayce Thompson is happy to be back with the Dodgers even if his trip back to Los Angeles has been a long trek.His promising first stint with the Dodgers in 2016 was derailed by a back injury. After being cut by the team two years later, he struggled to find another steady home in the majors, bouncing around eight organizations as a journeyman Class AAA player.
“It really boiled down to not hitting the fastball versus lefties,” he said. “I really struggled versus the fastball.” He noticed that, back then, he set up a little farther away from the plate. As a result, he did more damage on inside pitches.“Last year, I feel like I got tied up inside a lot,” he said, comparing his new approach with his old one. “I wasn’t able to control that inside part of the zone.”
“I’ll still bet on the fact that there’ll be an uptick — significant uptick — versus left this year,” manager Dave Roberts echoed this week. “He’s smart enough to know that, one piece of value that he can add for our club, is to be more productive versus left-handed pitching.” Trayce Thompson takes batting practice during a workout ahead of Game 1 of the National League Division Series.
