The Los Angeles Dodgers sit second in the Cactus League at 10-7 this spring, but are still struggling with a key new element in 2026.
The Dodgers have — by far — the lowest successful challenge rate in MLB this spring, winning just 18% of their batter-initiated challenges and 27% of their defense-initiated challenges. Collectively, they’ve won just five of their 22 successful challenges during spring training.
They also rank second-worst in MLB in terms of total challenges vs. expected challenges — a statistic which describes a team’s proficiency at challenging — with a mark of -9.
