The Los Angeles Dodgers lineup is loaded with All-Star level players, including three former MVP winners (Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman). The presence of that trio overshadows some of the other stars in the lineup, including catcher Will Smith.
This weekend, Smith made sure that everybody in baseball knows his name as he put together a dominant run on Friday and Saturday that saw him homer in four consecutive at-bats.
He hit three consecutive home runs in the Dodgers' 8-5 win over the Milwaukee Brewers on Friday night.
On Saturday, he picked right up where he left off by homering in his first at-bat of the game to give him four consecutive home runs in four consecutive at-bats.
Here is the fourth of those home runs.

That was Smith's only hit of the day, but it again helped the Dodgers to a 5-3 win over the Brewers.
He is now up to 15 home runs on the season with a .854 OPS, making him one of the most productive catchers in all of baseball.
