However, whether Hern\u00e1ndez returns to the Dodgers in 2025 or finds a new team, he is extremely grateful for the Los Angeles fanbase for embracing him throughout his two stints with the organization.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom the moment I got to L.A., it was a humbling experience for me to have a fanbase that embraces me and loves me the way that they do,\u201d he said via The Shop. \u201cThe support. I\u2019m a guy that I\u2019m probably a better player than what the back of my card says numbers-wise. I bring more to the table than my stats, and the way that they love me, you\u2019d think that I am the best player on the field each and every day I step on a baseball field.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Although Hern\u00e1ndez isn\u2019t an everyday starter, the utilityman has endeared fans with his energy in the clubhouse and electric postseason performances.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s nothing more that I appreciate than everything they throw my way,\u201d Hern\u00e1ndez said. \u201cFrom the bottom of my heart, I\u2019ve always said I never know how to repay this fanbase for the way that they love me, but this year, signing late, coming into spring training late and joining a team that has a lot of expectations, I figured the best way to repay this fanbase was when I get my chance in October, I do my thing and help this team win. I feel like I did just that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hern\u00e1ndez recorded relatively average numbers in the regular season, but flipped a switch once October rolled around. Throughout his career, Hern\u00e1ndez has recorded a batting average of .278 with 64 hits, 15 home runs, 35 RBIs and 37 runs scored in the postseason.<\/p>\n<p>To put his numbers into perspective, Hern\u00e1ndez now has more postseason home runs than Alex Rodriguez, Miguel Cabrera, and Chipper Jones after he hit a solo homer in Game 5 of the National League Division Series.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kik\u00e9 Hernandez Sends Message to Dodgers Fans Amid Free Agency Los Angeles Dodgers utilityman Kik\u00e9 Hern\u00e1ndez is a free agent this offseason, meaning there\u2019s a chance the&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":21984,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-21983","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
