Dodgers outfielder James Outman hits during a spring training game March 17 at Sloan Park. The Serra graduate was named to the Dodgers’ opening day roster, it was announced Thursday.

After breaking into the big leagues last season, James Outman has earned his way onto the Los Angeles Dodgers’ opening day roster in 2023.

Outman—a 2015 graduate of Serra—made national headlines last season when he homered in his first major league at-bat July 31 in the Dodgers’ 7-3 win in Colorado. He’d go to hit safely in five of his first six at-bats, but his callup spanned just four games before he was optioned back to Triple-A Oklahoma City.
