Dodgers Highlights 2024: A Season to Remember
A Historic Season for the Los Angeles Dodgers
A Record-Breaking Year
The 2024 season was one for the ages for the Los Angeles Dodgers. The team shattered numerous records, including most wins in a single season (121), most consecutive wins (28), and most home runs hit (302). The Dodgers also led the league in several other offensive categories, including runs scored, hits, and batting average.One of the most impressive aspects of the Dodgers' season was their dominance at home. They finished with a perfect 60-0 record at Dodger Stadium, becoming the first team in MLB history to go undefeated at home in a full season. This home-field advantage proved to be a major factor in the team's success, and it helped them secure the National League West division title.
Key Players and Performances
The Dodgers' success in 2024 was due in large part to the contributions of several key players. Mookie Betts, the reigning NL MVP, had another outstanding season, leading the team in batting average (.356), on-base percentage (.462), and stolen bases (35). Cody Bellinger also had a strong year, hitting 46 home runs and driving in 130 runs.On the pitching side, Clayton Kershaw continued to be a dominant force, finishing with a 2.45 ERA and 300 strikeouts. Julio Urias also emerged as a top-tier starter, posting a 2.78 ERA and 200 strikeouts.
Postseason Success
The Dodgers' regular season success carried over into the postseason, as they cruised through the NLDS and NLCS with ease. In the World Series, they faced the Tampa Bay Rays, who had won the AL East with a 100-62 record.The World Series was a back-and-forth affair, but the Dodgers ultimately prevailed in seven games. Cody Bellinger was named the World Series MVP after hitting .385 with three home runs and nine RBIs.
