Aлек Thomas said on August 23, 2026, that he has contributed offensively and defensively to the Los Angeles Dodgers since being called back up to Major League Baseball.
“I'm here to make a contribution, you know, defensively and... offensively,” Thomas said. He added that he wants to continue contributing to the Dodgers, saying, “hopefully we can keep it going.”
Thomas described his recent major-league success after the call-up as encouraging, stating, “I'm definitely thankful for that.” He also explained his approach after returning: “there's no pressure.”
Thomas mentioned watching Blake Snell pitch and said the Dodgers' starting pitchers have impressed him from both the batter's box and the outfield. “I've seen it first hand in the batter's box,” he noted. He also received waves and smiles from Dodgers fans, which he called special because he had been accustomed to hostile reactions: “for me to get waves and smiles from the fans is pretty special.”
Thomas said his father did not attend the game, answering, “No, he didn't make it.” Thomas's stated outlook is to keep contributing to the Dodgers, while his account also included having watched Snell and receiving the fans' positive reception.
