Los Angeles Dodgers center fielder Andy Pages is having an outstanding season thus far, and it could net him his first All-Star selection.
He came close in the 2025 season, but as any Dodgers fan could tell you, that didn’t translate to success in the World Series.
Yes, he made a huge catch in the ninth inning of Game 7, but offensively, he hit 1-for-16, far, far below his regular season impact.
In the offseason, he passed on the World Baseball Classic and instead focused on the upcoming season, and it’s really paid off.
How is Andy Pages playing in 2026?
Pages is hitting .333/.375/.571/.946 with nine home runs and 35 RBIs, and it’s put him near the top of the leaderboard in multiple statistics.
That .333 batting average is fifth in MLB and the 35 RBIs and 49 hits are both tied for third.

We’re 40 games into the season, so if he continues at that pace, he’ll have 140 RBIs and almost 200 hits for the year.
The offensive production is impressive, and it’s come without a fall off on the defensive side.
Per Baseball Reference, Pages is in the top 10% of all three defensive categories:
-
Range (OAA): 92nd percentile
-
Arm Value: 99th percentile
-
Arm Strength: 96th percentile
Oh yeah, and his bWAR is 2.8. That leads the majors as well.
What is Andy Pages doing better in 2026?
Pages’ improvement is reflected in multiple metrics.
Before the season, Dodgers Nation’s Doug McKain said Pages had to improve his plate discipline.
“He drew only 20 walks over his final 128 games and recorded a 3.9% walk rate over the last five months—fourth worst among qualified hitters,” McKain said.
He hasn’t quite turned a weakness into a strength, but his walk rate is noticeably better, from the sixth percentile in 2025 to the 20th percentile in 2026.
At the same time, he’s also making better contact.
His hard-hit percentage, which was below-average to average in his first two seasons, is now in the 94th percentile. Additionally, his average exit velocity is up from 88.6 mph to 91 mph.
Do you think Andy Pages can keep it up long enough to get his first All-Star nod and into the postseason?
