From Forgotten Prospect to Firestarter in the NL – The Dodgers’ Dark Horse Has Officially Arrived


The Underdog No One Saw Coming

A year ago,Ā Andy PagesĀ was a name you’d only hear during Spring Training lineups or the final minutes of a minor league recap.
Now?
He’s anĀ official 2025 MLB All-Star, and one of theĀ most talked-about breakout starsĀ of the season.

Nicknamed by fans as the ā€œbackup of backups,ā€ Pages began the season buried in the Los Angeles Dodgers’ deep bench, often seenĀ carrying more gear than at-bats. But with injuries, slumps, and sheer determination, Pages not only seized his opportunity — he owned it.

A Hot Bat That Refused To Cool Off

After being called up mid-April, the 23-year-old Cuban outfielder made headlines with aĀ 12-game hitting streak, delivering clutch hits and showcasing serious power. Since then, he’s posted:

  • .293 AVG | 17 HR | 54 RBI
  • .920 OPS — highest among NL rookies
  • 5 OF assists — proving he’s just as lethal in the field

HisĀ two-homer night against the GiantsĀ in June?
That’s when the ā€œAll-Star buzzā€ turned intoĀ All-Star votes.


Fans and Teammates Rally Behind Him

Veteran teammates couldn’t hide their pride.
Mookie BettsĀ said it best:

ā€œThis kid waited for everyone else to get their shot. Then he took his — and ran with it like he’s been here for years.ā€

Dodgers managerĀ Dave RobertsĀ added:

ā€œAndy reminds you why you never give up on talent. He didn’t ask for the spotlight. He earned it.ā€

From Triple-A Afterthought to National League Darling

Coming into 2025, Pages was rankedĀ #11 in the Dodgers’ system. Despite his raw potential, many scouts questioned whether he’d ever crack the big-league roster full-time.

Now, he’s not only in the majors — he’s headed to ArlingtonĀ to represent the National League among baseball’s biggest stars.

In a heartfelt interview after the announcement, Pages got emotional:

He also made sure to thank theĀ Dodgers’ minor league staffĀ who ā€œnever gave up on the kid swinging in the cages after midnight.ā€
