About this episode
Los Angeles Dodgers fan favorite Kiké Hernández sparks debate by claiming the World Baseball Classic feels bigger than the World Series—do global stakes now outweigh MLB glory?
Harry Ruiz & Travis Rodgers break down player perspectives on representing country versus club, with insights into the national pride driving stars like Shohei Ohtani, Will Smith, and Yoshinobu Yamamoto on the international stage.
Spotlighting key Dodgers performances, they dissect Andy Pages' hot spring training start and redemption mindset after a cold postseason, evaluating his role amid an all-star cast. The show explores how international tournament pressures compare to the grueling six-month MLB season and unpacks Team USA’s challenges, the electric crowd energy from Latin America and Japan, and the next wave of Dodger talent. All that and more on today’s episode of Locked On Dodgers!
