- Miguel Vargas – 2024 – No longer a prospect, but he would be here if he was.
- Diego Cartaya -2025 – I look at last season as an anomaly. Stuff happens… usually mental or personal stuff. If it continues, then I start to worry. His skills are off the chart. I hear from some that his swing is too long, and I don’t even know what that means! they are just words.
- Dalton Rushing – 2025 – He is a stone-cold hitter who may or may not change positions. Last season was challenging for him. Let’s see how he rebounds. It is rumored that he cannot hiot “high cheese.”
- Kyle Hurt – 2024 – He just needs to go to the bullpen, where he will be a multi-inning lockdown reliever. He has a shot to make a splash THIS year.
- Landon Knack – 2024 – He is ready for the show, both physically and mentally. He has changed his work ethic, diet, and training. He’s a #3 or #4 in waiting.
- Gavin Stone – 2024 – He he has allegedly added another pitch (or two), but control is the key. He finally started putting it together late last season. It was also revealed that he was tipping his pitches last year.
- Andy Pages – 2024 – Last year was lost to injury. He had lost weight and was thinner and seemed poised to be a big-time outfield prospect. Can he take up where he left off? We shall see….He does have “Light Tower Power!”
- Jackson Ferris – 2026 –
- Nick Frasso – 2024 – Filthy, nasty stuff. Control is getting better. He had a “Not Tommy John Surgery,” and the question is whether his arm holds up as a starter. He generally is not allowed to pitch more than 3 or 4 innings. We will have to wait another year for Frasso as he is out for the 2024 season..
- Yenier Fernandez – 2024 – He has a unique skill set in that he can catch, and play 2B and SS. This is a guy who could be a nice utility man or more.
- River Ryan – 2025 – River is a great athlete who played SS and 2B as well as was a reliever in college. He is new to starting, but his fastball touches 99, and his slider hits 91, while his changeup and curve are improving. He really needs a full season at AAA, but he is another middle-of-the-rotation guy who has some really nasty stuff, but is out for the immediate future.
- Ronan Kopp – 2024 – If he harnesses his control, Kopp and Hurt will form a deadly multi-inning L-R duo unseen for a long time.
- Trey Sweeney – 2025
- Justin Wrobleski – 2025 – One of the few LH Starting pitchers in the Dodgers system. He had TJ a couple of years back and flashes a 95 MPH Fastball and a very good curve. One more pitch (probably his slider), and he will be a solid middle-of-the-rotation guy. He is also in the process of mastering the cutter. I am high on him.
- Austin Gauthier – 2025 – This is a guy who likes to hit the ball hard and touch at least 1B. He is aggressive and physical. He can play SS in a pinch, but 2B is his best spot. At worst, he is a utility man, and at best, he could be an occasional All-Star at 2B.
- Jake Gelof -2025 – This is a guy who maybe should be in the Top 10 or 5, but I have not seen him enough to put him there. What I have seen reminds me of Austin Riley.
- Thayron Liranzo – 2026 – A switch-hitting catcher from the DR, he is still only 20 years old. He has plus, plus power but also has plenty of swing-and-miss. He’s very raw and has a very high offensive ceiling. His catching is slightly advanced but he has similar skills to Diego Cartaya.
- Josue De Paula – 2026 – Still a teenager, Jo is 6′ 3″ LH hitter with a sweet swing. He is skinny and will become much stronger as he matures. His ceiling is that of a Superstar, but he is horrid defensively. DH is his best position. I have only seen him on video, so there is a lot to learn.
- Kendall George – 2026 – George is very different from any Dodgers player in the fact that his speed is his biggest asset, and his speed will kill anyone. I am looking forward to seeing him in person, but he could be an asset in CF by 2026.
- Joendry Vargas – 2026 – Vargas is a RH 6′ 4″ SS, and we all know that shortstops that tall can’t succeed… right? He has a shot at being a high-average hitter with 25 HR power.
- Hyun-Seok Jang – 2027 – This 6′ 4″ Korean RHP has the makings of a stud middle-of-the-rotation pitcher. Still only 19, his fastball, which is 93-97, could play up, and his slider and hammer curve are solid offerings. If he can master a change, he could be a #2 as his control is already pretty good.
- Maddux Bruns – 2026 – Just 21, Maddux (named for Greg), has a high 90s fastball, a hammer curve, a high-quality slider, and a change-up. IF (BIG IF) he can harness his control, he could be a solid #2 lefty. If he can’t, he might not make it. It’s Boom or Bust!
- Hunter Feduccia -2024 – I think he’s ready to be a backup, and the fact that he hits LH is a plus. He is not the equal of Barnes behind the plate, and how his bat plays is the question.
- Jake Pilarski – 2025 – In the AFL, he is showing out as a closer. In 13 IP, he has a 0.71 ERA, 1.03 WHIP, and averages 14.2 SO/9. He does walk 4 per 9, so he has to get better there. He has all that closer stuff!
- Damon Keith – 2026 – Damon has great power, strikes out a lot, and is a solid outfielder at each position. He is athletic and strikes out too much. 2024 is an important year.
- Peyton Martin – 2026 – Martin is a nice RHP with a 98+ MPH fastball and an 82 MPH Change. His curveball is improving by the minute. He maintains his cool on the mound with a “presence” that is rarely seen. He is a guy to watch.
- Rayne Doncon – 2027 – Currently playing SS and 2B; Rayne has great bat speed and has a knack for barrelling up pitches. He could play 2B or 3B… most likely. He just turned 21 so he has a ways to go.
- Jose Ramos – 2026 – A very athletic outfielder, Ramos has PLUS raw power and poor plate discipline. He gives away too many at-bats. He’s dead red on fastballs but can’t hit breaking balls. He also has a cannon for an arm. You have to be patient with this guy.
- Chris Newell – 2027 – A 22-year-old LH hitter, Newell has a lot of raw power and had a strong arm before his TJ surgery a couple of years ago. It is looking stronger, and he has above-average speed. He plays all three OF spots, but the corners are where he will likely end up. He could be a very solid hitter if he keeps this up.
- Samuel Munoz – 2027 – Only 18, Munoz is calm, cool and collected at the plate and has a butter-smooth LH swing whose best position is LF. He very much plays within himself. He could rise quickly.
- Kendall Williams – 2026 – A 6′ 6″ lanky RHP, Kendall is a back-of-the-rotation, inning-eating starter, who has no outstanding pitches, but four solid ones. He bears watching as his delivery is deceptive.
- Jarod Karros – 2027 – At 6′ 7″, his fastball is barely over 90 MPH, and he has some nice secondary pitches. Control will dictate how he does.
Close, but no cigar: Peter Heubck, Eduardo Quintero, Jesus Tillero, Brady Smith
