Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Justin Wrobleski addressed reporters on June 24, 2026, reflecting on his outing against the Minnesota Twins, the in-game adjustments made with his battery, and the All-Star conversation surrounding him.
Wrobleski said during the press conference that he watches teammate Eric's starts before his own to gather information on how opponents attack pitchers. "I always watch when he pitches before me," he noted. "I think it's kind of a good — just see what they're doing against lefties." That preparation fed directly into how he and his battery approached the Twins lineup as the game progressed.
Wrobleski collaborated on in-game adjustments with catcher Chucky and Mark, changing the pitch mix the second and third time through the order after picking up on hitter tendencies. "We just kind of pivoted from what the plan was a little bit," he explained, adding that the Twins hitters had begun to keyhole on certain pitches. He also praised Chucky's game-calling ability, stating that Chucky has caught him four or five times at the MLB level and a couple of times in the minor leagues, giving the catcher a strong sense of how to call games for him.
A relay play at the plate drew attention despite the Dodgers scoring 12 runs in the game, according to Wrobleski. He highlighted a sequence in which Pahes made a strong throw and Mookie Betts followed with a relay throw home to record the out. Wrobleski mentioned that he gets confused on the bench when opponents are quick to send runners once Pahes fields the ball, given how effective Pahes is at getting the ball in on the relay.
On the subject of All-Star consideration, Wrobleski acknowledged the excitement while keeping his focus narrow. "It's something you dream of," he stated. "Something you always want the chance to do." He added that he does not control the outcome and instead concentrates on attacking hitters and recording outs as efficiently as possible within each game.
