The Dodgers thought highly enough of top prospect Corey Seager to insert him into the lineup down the stretch in the heat of a pennant race. It is a trial by fire and his bat has been everything the Dodgers thought it would be to this point in his career but baseball as rookie in a pennant race is a trial by fire. He is batting .381 with four doubles in the first week of his career with four Runs Batted In and he also has three two hit games.
Corey Seager made his first two errors of his career, both on ground balls, against the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim leading to one unearned run. Seager's defense was the question mark in his game coming through the minors leading many to speculate that he would end up at third base. Seager is a big shortstop standing 6'4" but Cal Ripken was a big shortstop and he managed to carve a Hall of Fame career for himself. If he continues to hit like this, I can live with the occasional error.
