Last year, the Los Angeles Dodgers won their first World Series title after 32 years. And this year, they continued to enjoy more success as they secured a National League Wildcard spot in convincing fashion. Although they didn’t win the NL West division, they recorded a staggering 106 wins to make their intentions clear.

But it’s not just the diamond where the Dodgers are succeeding. Their star players also dominated the MLB’s jersey sales, which displays the franchise’s soaring popularity in today’s time.

In fact, Betts sold the most jerseys of any player in the league, indicating his massive popularity amongst the fans.

The 28-year-old outfielder joined the Dodgers last year and made an instant impact, winning the World Series with them. This season, Betts scored 93 runs and 23 home runs, with a batting average of 0.264.

The next Dodger on the list is Kershaw, who ranks fifth on this list. Although the 33-year-old pitcher had an incredible season, he looks likely to miss the postseason due to an elbow injury. Bellinger ranks just one place behind Kershaw, with Seager in eighth place.

Although teams like the New York Yankees are relatively more popular, only Aaron Judge features in seventh place on this list. AL MVP favorite Shohei Ohtani ranks in ninth place on the list, with St. Louis Cardinals’ Nolan Arenado closing out the top 10.
