A lack of outfield depth earned Hollandsworth a spot on the Dodgers opening day roster. He made just six appearances as a late inning defensive replacement for Billy Ashley in left field before breaking a bone in his right wrist. After a brief stint in Albuquerque, he returned to the Dodgers, and went 3-for-4 with two RBIs and two runs scored against the Florida Marlins in his first start on July 14. He also turned in a fine defensive play to preserve the no-hitter Dodgers pitcher Ramón Martínez hurled. On July 18, he hit his first career home run against the Houston Astros' Shane Reynolds. A few innings later, Reynolds served up his second career home run. All told, Hollandsworth batted .233 with five home runs and thirteen RBIs in 1995. He made 115 plate appearances with 103 official at bats, allowing him to go into the season with his rookie status still intact. He went hitless in the 1995 National League Division Series with the Cincinnati Reds.
