Andy Pages Is Raking in 2026 After Rough Postseason Struggles
Andy Pages is slashing .429/.467/.714 through 15 games, and the Dodgers are 11-4 with the best record in baseball right now.
Those numbers dropped in the first two weeks of 2026 from a 25-year-old who spent his first couple of seasons in LA collecting World Series rings while going mostly invisible every October. The postseason failures were ugly and well-documented. The regular-season development was quieter, steadier. This spring, the second part of that story has completely taken over.
Pages has gone for multiple hits in 8 of his 15 games. Only the Rangers’ Brandon Nimmo, with 9 such games, and the Rays’ Chandler Simpson, also with 8, can match or top that rate. His wRC+ sits at 233. He’s first in the National League in batting average, on-base percentage, and RBI at 17, and he’s tied with Jordan Walker for the NL WAR lead at 1.2.
Friday against Texas was the cleanest illustration of what he’s become. Pages went 3-for-3 with a walk, ripped a two-run double down the right field line off Robert Garcia in the seventh to flip a 4-3 deficit into a 5-4 lead, then hit a two-run shot to left-center off Luis Curvelo in the eighth to push it to 7-4. The Dodgers eventually held on 8-7 on Max Muncy’s walk-off, his third home run of the game. Wild night. Pages supplied the margin that kept LA from needing a miracle.
None of this confirms he’s permanently operating at a different level. Fangraphs was direct about it: “Two and a half weeks into the season isn’t enough to confirm whether he’s unlocked a new level of performance.” Fair. But the direction can’t be ignored, and his spot atop the leaderboards earns a real look.
What makes Pages’ production harder to dismiss is context. He’s been the youngest regular in the Dodgers’ lineup since he debuted in Los Angeles on April 16, 2024, on a roster that has ranked among the oldest in baseball for back-to-back seasons. In 2024, even with Pages contributing 1.3 WAR, the Dodgers got a smaller share of their position-player WAR from players 25 and under than all but 2 other organizations. By 2025, with Pages posting 4.1 WAR, they climbed to 21st in that category. Still bottom third. Still one player carrying nearly all of the youth production on the offensive side.
That’s the structural reality he’s working inside. The roster’s stacked with veterans who’ve been doing this for a decade or more. Pages turned 25 in December. He’s the outlier. Every gap double and extra-base hit he produces carries additional weight because it’s real, homegrown output on a team that doesn’t generate it often.
“He’s also first in WAR,” said one scout who tracks NL outfielders closely, “and that’s with him playing next to some of the best hitters in the sport.”
San Diego is 10-6, sitting just a game and a half back. LA’s cushion is thinner than that 11-4 record feels.
