VIDEO: Miguel Rojas Makes Diving Stop Vs. New York Mets


Miguel Rojas is in his rookie season and he’s already made a significant impact for the team. As the Dodgers have lost Hanley Ramirez and Juan Uribe to injuries throughout the season, Rojas has been one of the infielders to help fill the void.

Although not a particularly strong offensive presence, Rojas more than makes up for it with his glove. The utility infielder has played shortstop, and second and third base. With Erisbel Arruebarrena currently with the team, Rojas started at third base Saturday.



No stranger to turning in a defensive highlight, Rojas made a diving stop on a ground ball hit to his left, quickly rose to his feet and fired the ball over to first base in time to get Wilmer Flores.

Rojas has committed three errors in 58 games this season, with one of them coming on his first putout opportunity at the Major League level.

Since that point, he’s helped preserve Clayton Kershaw’s no-hitter, robbed Michael Brantley of a likely extra-base hit, and more in his efforts to help shore up the Dodgers defense.
