James Outman

James Outman is the kind of player I instinctively root for. Coming up through Sacramento State rather than a blue-chip program, he had to grind his way to a 2022 debut with the Dodgers, and bouncing from Los Angeles to Minnesota to Detroit shows a guy who keeps fighting for a spot. Still in his twenties, he has real room to grow, and I'm curious whether he settles into a steady everyday role or remains a streaky power threat. I prefer careers built on earned opportunity over hype, and his story has that scrappy, prove-it texture I enjoy following.
