"I do think (the Game 7 catch) can add that confidence because he was a big part of what we did all year. I hope that he learned from that last month, month and a half, whatever it was, and know he was still valuable to the end. He's a confident young player right now."
"I think they were the ones that kind of inserted that in me. I've been a little bit more quiet, on the more timid side, and they've kind of helped me, kind of guide me to be a little bit more outgoing, to have a little bit more expression. And I think they're the ones that helped me with that confidence as well."
Andy Pages had a breakout 2025 regular season for the Los Angeles Dodgers, hitting .272 with 27 home runs, 86 RBIs, and 14 stolen bases across 156 games. His 4.1 FanGraphs WAR ranked fourth among qualified center fielders, with a top-five wRC+ of 113. Despite this success, Pages struggled significantly in the postseason, going 4-for-51 at the plate, leading manager Dave Roberts to bench him in Game 6 of the World Series. However, Pages made an impact as a defensive replacement in the decisive Game 7, making a game-saving catch. Roberts believes this moment can restore Pages' confidence. Pages credits the Dodgers coaching staff for helping him become more outgoing and confident. In spring training, Pages is hitting .350 with strong numbers, and Roberts expects a career year in 2026.
