After being called out on his positioning, Miguel Rojas plans to be careful where he stands.
For the entire 2023 season, Miguel Rojas played excellent defense at shortstop, saving baserunners and runs for his pitchers. No opposing manager ever complained about his positioning until Friday night when the interim San Francisco Giants’ manager protested about Rojas’ positioning. The Los Angeles Dodgers lost an out because New York found Rojas’ heels on the grass.
This angered and embarrassed Rojas, and he plans to be careful about his positioning. There is a rule saying no infielder should stand on the grass before the pitch is delivered.“I never want to start on the grass. I know the rule. I need to be with both feet on the dirt. I’m aware of all that,” Rojas said. “But I don’t want to give myself too much room for not getting to that ball where he hit it. I’ve got to be able to play on that line. I probably was touching with my heel.
“It surprised me because I think I’ve been doing the same thing for the whole year. With that being said, that’s the lesson I learned today. I need to be careful more.” Rojas is an integral part of the Dodgers, and he must perform well in the playoffs if the Dodgers want to be in the World Series. Copyright ABG-SI LLC.
