Career
[edit]Los Angeles Dodgers
[edit]Minor leagues
[edit]Pages signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers for $300,000 in 2018 after defecting from Cuba, where he was a star in the 15-and-under league in 2015, hitting .364/.484/.581 with 25 walks and just three strikeouts in 161 plate appearances.[1] He appeared in 10 games for the Arizona League Dodgers and 42 for the Dominican Summer League Dodgers that year, hitting .229.[2] The following season, with the rookie level Ogden Raptors, he led the league in extra-base hits with 43 and ranked second in homers (19), RBI (55), total bases (153) and slugging (.651) as an 18-year-old.[3] He did not play a minor league game in 2020 since the season was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. He was assigned to the Great Lakes Loons for 2021.[4] He played in 120 games for the Loons, hitting .265 with 31 home runs and 88 RBI.[2] He was selected as a post-season High-A Central All-Star, and he was also named Most Valuable Player and Top MLB Prospect of the league.[5] In 2022, he played for the Tulsa Drillers of the Double-A Texas League, hitting .236 with 26 home runs and 80 RBI.[2]
On November 15, 2022, the Dodgers added Pages to their 40-man roster to protect him from the Rule 5 draft.[6] Pages returned to Tulsa to begin the 2023 season[7] where he hit .284 in 33 games.[2] He was promoted to the Triple-A Oklahoma City Dodgers on May 16.[8] Pages appeared in only one game in Triple-A, striking out twice in three at-bats[2] before tearing the labrum in his shoulder and missing the rest of the season.[9]
2024
[edit]After spring training, Pages returned to Oklahoma City to begin the 2024 season[10] and was promoted to the major leagues for the first time on April 16.[11] He started in center field that day against the Washington Nationals and singled in his first MLB at-bat off Patrick Corbin.[12] Pages hit his first major league home run off Grant Hartwig of the New York Mets on April 21.[13] On May 3, he had four hits, including his first MLB walk-off RBI in a game against the Atlanta Braves.[14] In 116 games, Pages batted .248 with 13 home runs and 46 RBI.[15] He was hitless in two at-bats in the 2024 NLDS.[15]
In Game 5 of the 2024 National League Championship Series, Pages hit two home runs, becoming the first Dodgers rookie to homer twice in a single playoff game.[16] He had a total of four hits, in 17 at-bats in the series.[15] He was on the active roster for the 2024 World Series but did not appear in the series, in which the Dodgers won in five games.[15]
2025
[edit]On April 28, 2025, Pages was named the National League Player of the Week, co-winning with Eugenio Suárez for the 5th week of the season after going 13-for-20 (.650) and slugging 1.250 with four home runs and six RBI in that period, including three doubles and a home run in a three-game home series against the Pittsburgh Pirates.[17]
