When the Los Angeles Dodgers started spring training in February 2024, no one in the Dodger organization expected to see Landon Knack pitching for the Dodgers.
Well, injuries happen. Injuries decimated the Dodger starting rotation. By June, Landon Knack was a vital part of the Dodger starting rotation.
In 15 games, 69 innings, Knack had 3 wins, 5 losses, a 3.65 ERA, and 69 strikeouts. Knack didn’t do well when he hunted strikeouts. He needed to pitch to contact. When he could locate his pitches in the strike zone, he was successful.
The postseason overwhelmed Knack. Knack needs more seasoning in the minor leagues during the 2025 season. Hopefully, the Dodgers will allow him to do that in the 2025 season.
