Even with reduced playing time, Dodgers’ Miguel Rojas has become more valuable than ever

LA Times  

The defensive contributions of Miguel Rojas have been notable considering how little he has played this season, the Dodgers utility man accumulating two defensive runs saved in just 62 innings at second base and one defensive run saved in just 118 innings at shortstop, according to Fangraphs. Much of Rojas’ early work is with Betts, the six-time Gold Glove Award-winning right fielder who is playing shortstop full time this season for the first time since high school and entered Friday with four defensive runs saved, tied for fourth among major leaguers at his position. “When you have a resource like that, it makes things a little bit easier.” Rojas has also worked extensively with Lux, who ranks third among big league second basemen with five defensive runs saved, and Muncy, who accumulated four defensive runs saved, tied for second among major league third basemen, before going on the injured list because of a rib-cage strain on May 17. “I understand what part of my career I’m in right now — I might be playing for a few more years and then I’m going to have to do something after baseball,” Rojas said. “I feel like there’s many possibilities, but my main focus and my main goal is to manage at the big-league level,” Rojas said.
