Los Angeles Dodgers' catcher Will Smith experiences batting struggles with a .204 average and .701 OPS.

Los Angeles Dodgers' catcher Will Smith is struggling with a .204 batting average and .701 on-base plus slugging (OPS) in three months. Smith's decline is attributed to missing pitches in the hitting zone, and his average and OPS have dropped in the second half of each of his full seasons except 2021. Manager Dave Roberts denies fatigue as an issue. The Dodgers' roster is set to expand with the returns of injured players and additions of Amed Rosario and Kevin Kiermaier, which could create competition for roster spots among current role players.
