The two-time All-Star hit .350 in five World Series games against the New York Yankees.
In addition to his on-field accomplishments during his first season with the Dodgers in 2023, Hernandez became a fan favorite in Los Angeles.
Some in baseball circles have nicknamed Hernandez “Mr. Seeds” for his famous home run celebration, which involves throwing sunflower seeds at a teammate returning to the dugout after hitting a home run.
