All-Decade Los Angeles Dodgers Outfield

Matt Kemp, Outfield

  • Three-time All-Star
  • 2011 Silver Slugger
  • 2011 Gold Glove

The brief prime of Matt Kemp took place from 2010 to 2012, when he was 25-27. He was an All-Star in 2011 and 2012.

He put together an elite 2011 campaign, hitting 39 home runs, scoring 115 runs, driving in 126 runs and stealing 40 bases. Kemp won the Gold Glove and the Silver Slugger that season, coming in second for the NL MVP to Ryan Braun.

Kemp put together a solid 2014 season. After spending time in San Diego and Atlanta, Kemp made his way back to the Dodgers and was an All-Star in 2018. He was then traded to the Cincinnati Reds after the 2018 season.


Cody Bellinger, OF

  • Two-time All-Star
  • 2017 Rookie of the Year
  • 2019 MVP
  • 2019 Gold Glove
  • 2019 Silver Slugger

Even though he debuted in 2017, Cody Bellinger is an easy pick for the Dodger’s all-decade outfield.

Through his first three seasons, Bellinger has played 450 games, hit 111 home runs, drove in 28 runs, has a batting average of .278 and an OPS. of .928. Remember, he will only be 24 at the beginning of next season.

His first three seasons have all shown signs of greatness. He was dominant his rookie year and was awarded for it. In 2019, he was the best player of the best National League team in the regular season. His OPS. was over 1.000 and he hit 47 home runs.

Bellinger is a very versatile player and has played all three outfield positions, mostly right and center. However, he also spends a lot of time at first and is going to bounce around throughout his career.


Yasiel Puig, Outfield

  • 2014 All-Star

Yasiel Puig rounds out the outfield for this team.

Believe it or not, Puig has played in the most postseason games in franchise history. He spent 2013-2018 in Los Angeles.

Over six seasons and 712 games, Puig hit 108 home runs, 331 RBI, and had an OPS. of .823.

He was a consistent bat in their lineup and very strong defensively.

Puig was signed by the Dodgers from Cuba, at the age of 22,  prior to the 2013 season

It was close between him, Joc Pederson and Andre Ethier. All three have been above average outfielders for the Dodgers.
