Los Angeles Dodgers: Predicting top five home run leaders
By Jason Reed
2. Corey Seager — 32 home runs
By the way, this is my all-time favorite picture of Corey Seager. That home run in Game 2 of the World Series, although the lead was blown and the Dodgers lost the game, is one of my favorite home runs in Dodgers history.
Anyways, the Dodgers get their true shortstop back in 2019 after Seager underwent season-ending Tommy John Surgery in the opening month of last season. Because of that, Seager has kind of been out of the spotlight and it seems as if people have forgotten about him.
However, he is still the same guy that finished third in National League MVP voting in his rookie season and is the exact definition of a franchise guy. Seager, algonside Cody Bellinger and Walker Buehler, are the foundations of this franchise for the years to come.
Seager is not the most menacing power bat on the surface as he thrives more with gap-to-gap power and seems to be a guaranteed 25-30 home run hitter.
He will smash those expectations in 2019 and will surpass the 30 mark for the first time in his career. Seager is due to start his prime and is going to start showing more power in his swing in 2019.
We have seen insane power spurts out of Seager before, such as his three home run game in 2017. We are going to see a lot more of that this season.
