Trevor Bauer had his first appearance as a Dodgers and looked pretty good. Kenley Jansen also made his spring debut and nearly threw an immaculate inning. DJ Peters has made some noise in the first two games and could be a candidate as a breakout player in 2021. Lastly, spring training games can be shorter this year if agreed upon but should spring games be seven innings moving forward?
