LOS ANGELES, CA — After the Dodgers’ thrilling walk-off victory against the Pirates on Sunday, Kiké Hernández reflected on his recent success at the plate and the team’s resilience. “I’ve been feeling good for a couple of weeks now,” Hernández shared, emphasizing his focus on staying in the moment and contributing to the team’s efforts.
The game had its share of momentum swings, especially after the Pirates tied the game in the later innings. Hernández acknowledged this, saying, “We took the lead early… but they stayed in the game.” However, he also highlighted the importance of his key hit in the tenth inning that tied the game, which set the stage for the Dodgers’ eventual win.
Hernández’s recent decision to start wearing glasses at the plate has also been a factor in his improved performance. “I’m seeing the ball better… I guess I needed them,” he admitted, attributing his clearer vision to the glasses. The change has clearly paid off, as his timely hitting has been crucial for the Dodgers in their push toward the postseason.
Hernández’s ability to stay composed under pressure, combined with his newfound clarity at the plate, has made him a key contributor to the Dodgers’ recent successes. As the team heads into a challenging stretch of games, his performance will be vital in keeping their momentum going.
