Andy Pages isn't cooling down yet.
The Los Angeles Dodgers centerfielder slugged a three-run home run on Monday night to keep his hot start to the season rolling.
After the win over the New York Mets, Pages is batting .417 with five home runs, 20 RBI, two steals and a 1.186 OPS.
The 25-year old had already begun to show his bat might work out at the MLB level a season ago. Now, he's breaking out in a massive way.
In fact, he's only the fifth player in Dodgers history to start a season with at least 25 hits and 20 RBI in the first 16 games, according to Just Baseball Media.
Clearly, that's tough to do -- players rarely average a hit and an RBI per game, but that's what Pages is doing.
The most recent Dodgers player to start a campaign this way was Cody Bellinger in 2019 -- and he ended up winning the National League MVP that season.

Before that, Matt Kemp started this hot in 2012.
Then you have to go a ways back into Dodgers history to find the other two that did it. In 1977, it was Ron Cey with the fast start.
And all the way back in 1930, Babe Herman became the first Dodgers player to begin a season with the stats Pages has right now.
There are a lot of legendary Dodgers hitters who have never quite done this. Pages has joined a very rare, exclusive club.
He sure wouldn't mind keeping it going in the way Bellinger did seven years ago. MVP Andy Pages, anyone?
