Hedges went 2-for-4 with a double and two runs scored in Monday's 4-2 win over the Dodgers.

Mon, Mar 30, 2026 at 5:53 PM

Hedges (hand) will start at catcher and bat eighth against the Dodgers on Monday.

Scouting Report

Is an exceptional defensive catcher, with outstanding throwing ability from behind the plate, a quick release and also great agility. His receiving skills are off-the-charts good, overall. Can also be a solid contact hitter. Is woefully inconsistent at the dish, prone to huge hitting slumps. Also, the jury is still out on his long-term power stroke at the big-league level. Gets into trouble when he starts to swing for the fences.

Long Range Potential: Excellent defensive catcher.
