3 Dodgers Among Top-Selling Jerseys in MLB This Season
Dodger fans, it's officially All-Star week! That means that baseball fans all over the world are buying jerseys left and right so they can support their favorite players that are playing in this year's midsummer classic in Seattle.
But who's buying Dodgers All-Star jerseys?
According to a press release from MLB.com, three Dodger players are among the top best sellers in jerseys this season. Those players are Mookie Betts (#6 best-selling), Freddie Freeman (#16 best-selling) and Clayton Kershaw (#20 best-selling).
Betts and Freeman have been voted as starters for the National League team, along with Kershaw, who unfortunately was placed on the 15-day injured list for shoulder soreness before the All-Star break.
The top two best-selling jerseys belong to Braves uutfielder, Ronald Acuña Jr. (#1 best-selling) and Angels two-way star, Shohei Ohtani (#2 best-selling).
Mookie Betts is arguably playing his best season yet, hitting .276 with 26 home runs (T-3rd in NL), 62 RBIs (T-7th in NL) and a .964 OPS (4th in NL).
In the last 10 games before the All-Star break, Betts had reached base in 28 of 47 plate appearances – 12 walks, two singles, eight doubles and six home runs – while driving in 14 runs and scoring 13.
As for Freeman, he's been on a stellar run himself, hitting 3 home runs, 14 RBIs, and a .306 BA to end the first of the season. This brings a total batting average of .320, 17 home runs and 61 runs batted in for the year.
Kershaw was originally supposed to be a part of the National League's All-Star rotation, but due to his shoulder soreness, the Dodger ace had to forego the opportunity.
