Kiké Hernández's near brush with being designated for assignment last season has sparked a fascinating discussion about the pressures athletes face and the fine line between success and failure in professional sports. Imagine being just days away from potentially losing your career, only to turn it around with something as simple as a pair of glasses. This raises some intriguing questions:

How often do we overlook the physical challenges that players face, and how do these challenges impact their performance? Hernández's struggles with astigmatism highlight the importance of vision in baseball, a sport where precision is everything. What other unseen factors do you think could be affecting players' performances that fans might not consider?

Moreover, with Dave Roberts calling the 2025 Dodgers the most talented roster he's ever had, what does that mean for players like Hernández? Can he maintain his momentum and continue to be a key player in this stacked lineup? Or will the pressure of high expectations lead to a different kind of struggle?

As we look ahead to the season, what are your bold predictions for Hernández and the Dodgers? Will he be a crucial asset in their quest for another championship, or could the weight of expectations prove too heavy? Share your thoughts and experiences—let's dive deep into the complexities of player performance and the mental game of baseball!
