LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles Dodgers utility player Kiké Hernandez reached a significant career milestone during the latest round of the postseason. By hitting his 18th career postseason home run, Hernandez moved ahead of David Ortiz on the all-time leaderboard for playoff home runs.
The achievement highlights the ongoing climb of active players within the postseason record books. Currently, several players, including Freddie Freeman, Max Muncy, and Giancarlo Stanton, sit at 16 career postseason home runs, placing them two behind the total held by Derek Jeter.
The Dodgers continue their postseason campaign following recent momentum, including a victory in Game 3 of the NLDS as detailed in our recent coverage of the series. As the playoffs progress, the pursuit of these historical marks remains a focal point for the remaining active rosters.
