Dalton Rushing joins Baseball Bar-B-Cast to discuss hitting and Dodgers

Rushing spoke with hosts Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman about the 'art of hitting,' noting that success comes from playing the pitcher and understanding their tendencies before they understand their own. Despite being a catcher, hitting remains his primary focus, resulting in a .667 batting average and 2.367 OPS through 10 plate appearances in 2026.

The conversation also touched on the unique pressure of catching for the Dodgers' elite rotation and the vast amount of information available to big-league hitters compared to lower levels.
