Bashing Rookie Year

Joc Pederson had been a minor league All-Star and the Dodgers’ No. 1 prospect going into the 2015 season. After the team traded Matt Kemp in the offseason, that meant Pederson had a good chance to make the team permanently.

Pederson showed everyone his potential immediately, as he bashed the ball out of the ballpark at an historic rate.

In May and June, Pederson had two four-game home run streaks, the first rookie to do so since 1963. Pederson’s home run prowess led to an All-Star selection, making him the first Dodgers rookie since Hideo Nomo (1995) to be selected.

By the end of the season, Pederson would hit 26 home runs, the second-most by a Dodgers rookie up until that time.
