Dodgers: 5 biggest Joc Pederson moments to remember him by
By Jamaal Artis
Hot September
In 2019, Pederson had a career year, hitting single-season highs in home runs (36), RBI (74), batting (.249) and OPS (.876). Pederson also six home runs from the leadoff spot, tied for the league lead.
Pederson, a streaky hitter throughout the season, went supernova in September; he hit .344 with nine home runs and four doubles, driving in 16 runs while slugging .852 in easily his best month of the season.
Pederson started the month by going 6-7 with five home runs, a double, and nine RBI over three games, becoming the first player to hit five home runs in six at-bats since Josh Hamilton in 2012, and tied Larry Walker’s NL record of six consecutive extra-base hits in six at-bats set in 1996.
With his hot September, Pederson helped the Dodgers clinch their seventh consecutive NL West division title.
