Kiké Hernandez, the near perfect utility man, has split time all over the field, but I lumped him in with the infield because he has slightly more innings there (60⅓) than in the outfield (56). Alex Guerrero and Scott Van Slyke had some time in the infield, but made their bones in the outfield, so they count below.
Joc Pederson is the first Dodger with 17 home runs in the team's first 54 games since Gary Sheffield in 2000. Guerrero is amazingly third on the team in RBI despite playing every other day.
