Corey Seager may be the Los Angeles Dodgers’ top prospect, but he’s still just a rookie.
That means his teammates are going to mess with him when they get the opportunity. Saturday night was the perfect example.
In the top of the fifth inning, Seager crushed the 1-2 pitch from Arizona Diamondbacks right-hander Josh Collmenter over the right-field wall for his first big-league homer. He was probably eager to celebrate the special moment, but when he got back to the dugout, all of his teammates were giving him the silent treatment.
It was all in good fun, of course. Dodgers players would eventually break their silence and congratulate the 21-year-old shortstop on his first career homer.
Seager‘s blast gave the Dodgers an 8-3 lead. The rookie went 4-for-4 with a walk, a home run, a double and three RBI in Los Angeles’ 9-5 victory.
