This Dodger has manners.

It's not every day you hear someone apologize for successfully doing their job, but Miguel Rojas proved he may be the most polite shortstop around while mic'd up on ESPN's Sunday Night Baseball broadcast. 

Rojas was answering a question about using one of teammate Kiké Hernández's bats when he was forced to spring into action by a grounder up the middle off the bat of Giants infielder Thairo Estrada. Rojas ranged a few steps to his left and as he made the play apologized for the brief interruption.

"Sorry, guys, I need to make this play real quick," he said. 

And make this play he did, firing to first to get Estrada and giving the ESPN booth a good laugh in the process.

"I have to make that play for [Lance] Lynn," Rojas said. "He's gonna get mad at me if I don't."

Rojas has done his fair share of play-making this season for the Dodgers (not always while in the middle of a conversation), who traded for him in the offseason with the expectation that Rojas would be a utility player all around the infield. But the season-ending injury to Gavin Lux changed those best-laid plans, and Rojas was thrust into a bigger role as a starter and quickly became a leader in the clubhouse.

"I got a great opportunity to be in the same locker room and same field with a lot of great players, and learning from Martín Prado and Adrían González and all of those guys early in my career helped me to change myself into not just a baseball player but a leader," Rojas said while mic'd up. 

Don't be surprised if a couple other Dodgers follow their leader and get "sorry, guys, I need to make this play real quick" printed on some T-shirts.
