Welcome to the first of a three-part series reviewing the Dodgers’ farm system after the 2021 season. The first part will focus on offensive players, the second part on pitchers, and the third part will be a smorgasbord of content: examining the state of the system, looking at early returns on this year’s draft and international signing classes, projecting rotations and lineups for next year at each level, evaluating who to protect from the Rule 5 draft, and naming my prospect team of the year.
I debated a variety of formats for this exercise, ultimately choosing this one over (a) a very long post including all of those things and (b) going position group by position group rather than level by level for the first two parts. Within positional groups I’ll still start at the higher levels, but with so many players splitting time between multiple levels this year, I felt this was the best way to look at them.
Lastly, before I begin, I want to discuss a couple things this won’t be. Not every player in the system is going to be discussed, and not every player that is will be discussed in depth. This is much more “here are some guys and here’s what they did this year” than it is a comprehensive analysis of individual players, which I usually save for my rankings.
I’ll list each player, their current age (FYI: 19.5 is not nineteen and five months, but rather nineteen and a half, i.e. nineteen and six-twelfths), and key stats. Levels are Triple-A OKC, Double-A Tulsa, High-A Great Lakes (A+), Low-A Rancho Cucamonga (A), Arizona Complex League (ACL), and the Dominican Summer League (DSL).
All that said, let’s begin.
Catchers
Keibert Ruiz, 23.2 years old (AAA: 72 G, .310/.377/.616, 9.5 BB%, 21 HR, 10.4 K%, 144 wRC+; MLB: 29 G, .273/.333/.409, 6.3 BB%, 3 HR, 9.4 K%, 101 wRC+) It feels apt to start this section with Ruiz, arguably the Dodgers’ best prospect before headlining a midseason trade to the Nationals for Max Scherzer and Trea Turner (and also the only prospect-relevant catcher who saw time at Triple-A). After several underwhelming years that saw his prospect status diminish from a consensus top~40 prospect in the game to a borderline top-100 one, things all came together for Ruiz in 2021 with the best offensive season of his career. He hit .311/.381/.631 with a 10% walk rate and 11.7% (143 wRC+) strikeout rate for the Dodgers’ Triple-A team, before slashing a similar .308/.365/.577 (8.2 BB%, 7.1 K%, 146 wRC+) with the Nationals’ Triple-A team. He obliterated his previous career high of twelve homers even before being traded, with sixteen in OKC and another five with Rochester, the National’s Triple-A affiliate. Ruiz was recalled to the Nationals on August 30, where he remained for the rest of the year, hitting .248/.348/.395 (102 wRC+) with more walks than strikeouts and another two homers in in 23 games. For a catcher in his age-22 season, that’s really impressive stuff. Ruiz looks to be the Nationals’ starting catcher for the foreseeable future.
Hunter Feduccia, 24.3 (AA: 86 G, .254/.343/.398, 11.9 BB%, 19.0 K%, 101 wRC+) The former twelfth rounder spent his whole year in Double-A Tulsa, with ten homers and solid defense. Feduccia will be Rule 5 eligible for the first time this offseason, and should start next year at Triple-A, probably paired up with a veteran minor league free agent signing.
Stevie Berman, 26.9 (AA/AAA, LAD/MIN: 44 G, .175/.296/.266, 2 HR, 11.8 BB%, 16.5 K%, 56 wRC+) Berman was moved to the Twins in a late August deal for lefty reliever Andrew Vasquez (allowed because neither player was on the 40-man roster). The 26 year old was part of the Dodgers’ upper minors catching depth, but wasn’t projected for a major league role outside of multiple injuries to the team’s major league catchers.
Carson Taylor, 22.4 (A+: 79 G, .278/.371/.433, 9 HR, 13.2 BB%, 18.4 K%, 123 wRC+) Lauded for his plate discipline before the draft, Taylor had more walks than strikeouts for the majority of the year, but ended with a 13.2% walk rate and 18.4% strikeout rate. His last two months (post July 20th) saw him walk less (8.7%) and strikeout more (21.7%), but also slug more (.466 SLG after, .391 before).
Ryan January, 24.4 (A+: 65 G, .191/.360/.426, 11 HR, 14.6 BB%, 32.9 K%, 121 wRC+) The Dodgers took January in the first round of minor league portion of the Rule 5 draft last year. While his 121 wRC+ is far more impressive than his .191 batting average and 32.9% strikeout rate, his .360 OBP was buoyed by fifteen HBPs in just 240 plate appearances—that’s one every sixteen plate appearances. He’ll turn 25 early next year, and looks more like catching depth than he does legit catching prospect after this year.
Diego Cartaya, 20.1 (A: 31 G, .298/.409/.614, 10 HR, 13.1 BB%, 27.0 K%, 158 wRC+) Cartaya met all the hype in his short time at Low-A Rancho, where he was limited to just 137 plate appearances due to passport issues and an injury. He did a lot with those PA’s though, hitting over fifty percent better than league average as a nineteen year old. With Ruiz gone, Cartaya stands alone as the Dodgers’ premier catching prospect, despite still being several years away from the majors.
Yeiner Fernandez, 19.1 (ACL: 35 G, .319/.382/.454, 2 HR, 6.4 BB%, 17.2 K%, 122 wRC+; A: 7 G, .516/.559/.645, 1 HR, 5.9 BB%, 8.8 K%, 222 wRC+) Fernandez impressed enough in his first pro stint in the ACL for a late season promotion to Rancho, where he went bonkers in seven games. His 122 wRC+ in the ACL is still very good for a catcher in his age-18 year (and also in his first year of pro baseball, after last year was wiped out), and he’s put himself squarely on the prospect map.
Jesus Galiz, 17.8 (DSL: 31 G, .218/.286/.287, 0 HR, 6.3 BB%, 15.2 K%, 68 wRC+) Galiz, one of the Dodgers’ two big international signings this year, didn’t get off to a great start in the DSL. He was still one of just a dozen or so DSL players included on the Dodgers’ instructional league roster, and I wouldn’t read much into his slash line (that also goes for basically every DSL player).
Thayron Liranzo, 18.3 (DSL: 21 G, 250/.393/.353, 1 HR, 16.5 BB%, 23.5 K%, 118 wRC+) Liranzo wasn’t as hyped as Wilman Diaz, Galiz, or Rayne Doncon in this current international signing class, but the eighteen year old hit . with 14/20 BB/K in 21 games in the DSL and was also included in the contingent that traveled from the Dominican to Arizona for instructs. Look for him in the ACL next summer, splitting time at catcher with Galiz.
Jorge Puerta, 19.8 (DSL: 39 G, .290/.441/.495, 5 HR, 17.6 BB%, 11.8 K%, 160 wRC+) While I would normally heavily discount most nineteen year olds putting up strong statlines in the DSL, Puerta stands out to me for a couple reasons. He was a first-year pro after losing last year to the pandemic, and his 160 wRC+ was good for eighth in the DSL (minimum 130 PAs, in addition to walking 1.5 times more than he struck out. He should head to Arizona next year too, and while he wasn’t included on the instructs roster, he’s someone to monitor if he continues mashing next season.
Corner Infielders
Ryan Noda, 25.6 (AA: 113 G, .250/.383/.521, 29 HR, 15.6 BB%, 26.7 K%, 139 wRC+) Noda was the second PBTNL from the Ross Stripling trade, who didn’t officially move to the Dodgers until February. He spent time at the top of the Dodger prospect homer leaderboard all season, finishing two short of Andy Pages.
Kody Hoese, 24.3 (AA: 59 G, .188/.241/.245, 2 HR, 6.0 BB%, 22.1 K%, 30 wRC+) I am leaving out Hoese’s ACL stats, which he accumulated on two separate rehab assignments. Hoese is tough to evaluate. He’s now nearly two and half years removed from being a first round pick, is already 24, and has yet to see success in the minor leagues. On the other hand, we have yet to see him healthy for an extended period as a pro (not counting 2020, when Jim Callis of MLB Pipeline called him the best hitter at the Dodgers’ alternate site), and he still has the pedigree of a first rounder. He’ll head to the Arizona Fall League to make up some of those lost reps and face the best competition he’s seen since becoming a pro. If he does well, it would be a nice boost back to his stock after a down year in 2021.
Miguel Vargas, 21.9 (A+: 37 G, .314/.366/.532, 7 HR, 5.2 BB%, 18.6 K%, 142 wRC+; AA: 83 G, .321/.386/.523, 16 HR, 9.7 BB%, 15.4 K%, 141 wRC+) Vargas did everything you could’ve asked for him this year, earning the Dodgers’ Minor League Player of the Year honors for his efforts. Entering the year with one of the system’s strongest hit tools, Vargas beat his previous career high of nine homers less than two months into the season, finishing with 23 in 542 plate appearances, after just seven in 788 PAs in 2018-19. Vargas also saw some action at second base this year in addition to both third and first, though some still see him ending up at first base. He should head to Triple-A next April, and could figure into the Dodgers’ major league plans in 2022 if he continues hitting like he did this year.
Justin Yurchak, 25.1 (A+: 62 G, .356/.446/.476, 5 HR, 14.1 BB%, 17.5 K%, 156 wRC+; AA: 30 G, .383/.436/.504, 2 HR, 9.7 BB%, 16.4 K%, 153 wRC+) Yurchak led qualified hitters above rookie ball (no DSL/ACL) in batting average this year, and led the Dodgers’ system in wRC+. He’s a rare archetype nowadays, the first baseman who hits for contact but little power. I was skeptical when he was putting up those numbers as a 24 year old in High-A, but he continued it after a promotion Double-A, where he also saw some time in left field. I still worry about a potential major league role as a corner bat who doesn’t slug, but he’s certainly made himself a name to follow until he stops hitting.
Brandon Lewis, 23.0 (A: 44 G, .278/.380/.550, 10 HR, 13.0 BB%, 31.5 K%, 136 wRC+; A+: 55 G, .262/.321/.584, 20 HR, 6.0 BB%, 29.9 K%, 137 wRC+) Lewis likely would’ve led Dodger prospects in homers had he not missed some time at the end of the season. A year younger than most of his 2019 draft counterparts, Lewis should head to Tulsa next season, and look to continue his power surge and limit strikeouts (to a reasonable degree for a power hitter like him) like he did this year.
Imanol Vargas, 23.3 (A: 72 G, .246/.339/.511, 17 HR, 11.8 BB%, 31.3%, 117 wRC+) The less-heralded Vargas saw more playing time after Brandon Lewis’ promotion to High-A, but that strikeout rate is concerning for a bat-first prospect playing Low-A in his age 23 season.
Luis Yanel Diaz, 22.1 (ACL: 22 G, .289/.357/.539, 4 HR, 7.1 BB%, 44.0 K%, 126 wRC+; A: 30 G, .241/.298/.500, 6 HR, 5.7 BB%, 43.1 K%, 101 wRC+) Diaz’s explosive swing and power is only matched (and exceeded) by his explosive strikeout rate, above 43% at both the complex league and Low-A. There’s raw tools here, but I’m doubtful anything comes of them with that kind of swing and miss for someone his age at those levels.
Andy Espinosa, 18.8 (DSL: 48 G, .277/.424/.511, 7 HR, 16.3 BB%, 29.2 K%, 159 wRC+) Espinosa finished in the top fifteen qualified DSL hitters in HR, OBP, SLG, OPS, and wRC+ in his first pro season. While not included on the instructs roster, he should be in Arizona next season.
Middle Infielders
Zach McKinstry, 26.5 (AAA: 40 G, .272/.368/.510, 7 HR, 11.7 BB%, 15.2 K%, 117 wRC+; MLB: .215/.263/.405, 7 HR, 5.8 BB%, 29.1 K%, 77 wRC+) The McKinstry hype train was rolling in April (he hit .296/.328/.556 in 58 PAs), but came to an abrupt following his return from a stint on the injured list in May. He hit better in OKC, but will have to earn a spot on the major league bench again next season. He’s also now graduated from prospect status.
Sheldon Neuse, 26.8 (AAA: 78 G, .293/.352/.478, 13 HR, 8.3 BB%, 24.1 K%, 104 wRC+; MLB: 33 G, .169/.182/.323, 3 HR, 1.5 BB%, 39.4 K%, 33 wRC+) Neuse also graduated from prospect status, though he struggled mightily in his 66 major league plate appearances. He did get hot towards the end of the year, hitting .314/.352/.569 (121 wRC+) with eight homers after August first. The Dodgers will need a right handed bench bat, but Neuse too will need to earn that role.
Michael Busch, 23.9 (AA: 107 G, .267/.386/.484, 20 HR, 14.1 BB%, 26.1 K%, 134 wRC+) Busch got rave reviews at last year’s instructional league, and continued performing into 2021. His line looks even better when you consider his .173/.326/.200 (60 wRC+) in June, after he missed a week following an HBP to the forearm. That was the only month he was below league average offensively. His defense at second base also improved, and he should head to OKC next spring with shot to be in LA late next season if all goes well.
Jacob Amaya, 23.2 (AA: 113 G, .216/.303/.343, 12 HR, 10.9 BB%, 21.6 K%, 75 wRC+) It was a down year for Amaya, who set a career high in homers but struggled to the worst full-season walk and strikeout rates of his career. He remains a top candidate to be added to the 40-man roster and protected from the Rule 5 Draft, and a strong performance in the Arizona Fall League could solidify his spot.
Devin Mann, 24.7 (AA: 110 G, .244/.350/.436, 14 HR, 11.1 BB%, 22.7 K%, 111 wRC+) Mann was also having a rough 2021 before a scorching hot final month of the year. After August 18, he his .320/.376/.660 with eight of his fourteen homers, including three consecutive two-homer games in September. He played at least eight games at six different positions, playing all three outfield spots for the first time in his pro career due to a lack of outfielders in Tulsa. It should be a positive for his profile, as his best path to the majors is likely in a utility role anyways.
Leonel Valera, 22.3 (A+: 95 G, .224/.305/.436, 16 HR, 8.4 BB5, 36.4 K%, 99 wRC+) Valera looked like one of the system’s breakout prospects during the first half of the year, when he hit .255/.331/.510 (123 wRC+) with thirteen homers, but really fell off after that. From August on, he just .163/.254/.293 (54 wRC+) with a strikeout rate north of forty percent. While Valera is a legit defensive shortstop with power, this season showed he’s still a raw prospect.
Eddys Leonard, 20.9 (A: 66 G, .295/.399/.544, 14 HR, 11.0 BB%, 24.0 K%, 145 wRC+; A+: 41 G, .299/.375/.530, 8 HR, 9.2 BB%, 22.8 K%, 145 wRC+) Though Valera looked like the system’s breakout prospect after the first half, we didn’t need to much longer that mantle really belongs to Leonard. Leonard jumped onto the prospect scene with a big performance at Low-A, only to match it after his promotion to High-A. Seeing time at shortstop, second base, third base, and center field, Leonard is a borderline top ten prospect in the organization as it stands right now.
Jorbit Vivas, 20.6 (A: 83 G, .311/.389/.515, 13 HR, 7.2 BB%, 11.2 K%, 136 wRC+; A+: 23 G, .318/.422/.424, 1 HR, 12.7 BB%, 12.7 K%, 139 wRC+) If Leonard was the system’s breakout prospect, Vivas isn’t far behind. He showed excellent contact skills and added power playing well below the league average age at both levels. Vivas, who split time between second and third base should similarly be considered a borderline top ten prospect in the system right now.
Sam McWilliams, 23.4 (A: 87 G, .304/.384/.524, 14 HR, 10.8 BB%, 28.6 K%, 135 wRC+; A+: 5 G, .143/.143/.214, 0 HR, 0 BB%, 35.7 K%, -8 wRC+) McWilliams was a steady presence in Rancho’s lineup this season before a late season promotion to High-A. He should return to High-A next spring, seeing time at second and in the outfield.
Alex De Jesus, 19.6 (A: 97 G, .268/.386/.447, 12 HR, 16.4 BB%, 30.3 K%, 123 wRC+) De Jesus flew a bit under the radar this year, but still put up very solid numbers as one of the Low-A West’s youngest players. He was especially hot from July on, hitting .314/.440/.490 (149 wRC+) with an 18.7% walk rate and 24.9% strikeout rate. His 25 errors at shortstop are another matter, but he’s unlikely to remain at short as he climbs the minor league ladder anyways.
Carlos Santiago, 20.3 (ACL: 44 G, .168/.237/.305, 5 HR, 8.1 BB%, 32.3 K%, 41 wRC+) Santiago was basically an unknown when FanGraphs’ Eric Longenhagen mentioned his progress in Arizona and slotted him into the site’s organizational top twenty prospects for the Dodgers. That article was written on July 21, when Santiago was hitting .279/.333/.508 (114 wRC+); he hit just .104/.183/.189 in 31 games the rest of the way. In a full season league, Santiago could’ve had the opportunity to rebound, but the short ACL season didn’t give him the chance. He’s still someone to monitor moving forward given the notable placement by one of the best prospect writers in baseball, and will hopefully head to Rancho next spring.
Wilman Diaz, 17.9 (DSL: 24 G, .235/.309/.353, 1 HR, 9.6 BB%, 27.7 K%, 89 wRC+) The Dodgers’ top international signing from this current class played just 24 games, but like Galiz you shouldn’t read much into his statline. He is in Arizona with the Dodgers’ instructs team this month.
Rayne Doncon, 18.1 (DSL: 31 G, .283/.387/.455, 3 HR, 13.4 BB%, 23.5 K%, 133 wRC+) Doncon was the Dodgers’ third most notable international signing this winter after Diaz & Galiz, but outshined both of the them in the Dominican this summer. He too is in Arizona for instructs, and his stock is absolutely trending upwards.
Outfielders
Luke Raley, 27.1 (MLB: 33 G, .182/.250/.288, 2 HR, 2.8 BB%, 34.7 K%, 47 wRC+; AAA: 72 G, .302/.362/.516, 19 HR, 8.5 BB%, 23.3 K%, 137 wRC+) One of a few of older Dodger prospects to struggle in brief major league action this year, Raley excelled during his time down in Triple-A but couldn’t replicate that success at the majors. Raley has some of the highest exit velocities in the org, but is on the 40-man fringes as the offseason begins.
Zach Reks, 27.9 (MLB: 6 G, 0-10 with seven strikeouts and no walks; AAA: 87 G, .280/.382/.539, 19 HR, 12.1 BB%, 28.5 K%, 127 wRC+) Like Raley, Reks is an older corner outfield prospect who finds himself on the 40-man fringes, though unlike Raley he didn’t get much of a shot at the major league level. Perhaps that’s indicative of how the Dodgers view him, perhaps not, but it wouldn’t be a surprise to see one of him or Raley jettisoned from the 40-man this winter.
DJ Peters, 25.8 (AAA: 50 G, .233/.319/.372, 4 HR, 9.8 BB%, 28.4 K%, 74 wRC+; MLB: 70 G, .197/.242/.422, 13 HR, 5.0 BB%, 34.2 K%, 71 wRC+) Peters entered the year the most touted of the three outfield prospects at Triple-A, but when the Dodgers needed a 40-man spot following the acquisition of Danny Duffy, it was Peters who was DFA’s and promptly picked up by the Texas Rangers. Peters hit for power (12 HR) but not much else for the rebuilding Rangers, with a whopping 68 strikeouts to just four walks in 206 at bats with Texas.
Jeren Kendall, 25.7 (AA: 57 G, .209/.312/.417, 10 HR, 10.8 BB%, 39.8 K%, 94 wRC+) It was another rough season for the former first rounder, who took multiple trips to the Injured List and ran close to a 40% strikeout rate as a 25-year-old in Double-A. The latter has been a consistent issue in Kendall’s minor league career, though his mark in 2021 was his highest yet. Left unprotected in the Rule 5 Draft last year, he didn’t do enough to get added this year.
James Outman, 24.4 (A+ 65 G, .250/.385/.482, 9 HR, 14.8 BB%, 28.9 K%, 136 wRC+; AA: 39 G, .289/.369/.518, 9 HR, 9.6 BB%, 27.3 K%, 136 wRC+) It was a breakout season for Outman, who stole 23 bases but narrowly missed a 20-20 season for the second campaign in a row. Outman plays a strong center field and has put himself near the top of the list to be protected from the Rule 5 draft this offseason, and a good showing so far in the Arizona Fall League has furthered his case.
Donovan Casey, 25.7 (AA: 85 G, .303/.361/.483, 14 HR, 7.0 BB%, 28.8 K%, 126 wRC+; AAA: 38 G, .179/.245/.291, 2 HR, 6.1 BB%, 38.8 K%, 43 wRC+) Casey was the fourth piece in the Scherzer/Turner deal after an excellent half-season with Tulsa. He quickly got a promotion to Washington’s Triple-A affiliate following the trade, but struggled in a little over a month’s worth of games. He could make his major league debut next season.
Carlos Rincon, 24.0 (AA: 101 G, .265/.334/.496, 22 HR, 8.5 BB%, 26.8 K%, 120 wRC+) Rincon was sent to the Mets for Billy McKinney, and continued his solid age-23 season at Double-A after the trade. With the Dodgers’ corner outfield depth a level above him, Rincon was somewhat expendable, though he could see time in the majors with the Mets as soon as next year.
Andy Pages, 20.8 (A+: 120 G, .265/.394/.539, 31 HR, 14.3 BB%, 24.5 K%, 152 wRC+) Pages had a year to remember, leading Dodger prospects in homers and recording nine outfield assists. In his first season s̶i̶n̶c̶e̶ ̶b̶e̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶t̶r̶a̶d̶e̶d̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶A̶n̶g̶e̶l̶s̶ since Arte Moreno had better things to do than wait five days for a trade to consummate, Pages showed precocious power and an advanced approach at the plate. He was one of the best hitters in the High-A Central as a twenty year old, and will head to Double-A next spring as one of the system’s best prospects.
Ryan Ward, 23.7 (A+: 109 G, .278/.352/.524, 27 HR, 9.5 BB%, 23.8 K%,135 wRC+) Ward, like Pages, was one of the best hitters in the High-A Central. His power surge makes him one of the system’s biggest offensive risers, even if he is limited to an outfield corner.
Jonny Deluca, 23.3 (A: 57 G, .287/.376/.592, 15 HR, 12.2 BB%, 18.8 K%, 145 wRC+; A+: 44 G, .232/.308/.421, 7 HR, 8.2 BB%, 19.2 K%, 99 wRC+) Deluca, a former 25th rounder, came on strong in the first half of the season as arguably Rancho’s best hitter. He didn’t do quite as well after a promotion to High-A, where he should return next spring.
Jake Vogel, 20.0 (A: 76 G, .231/.323/.338, 3 HR, 8.9 BB%, 29.8 K%, 80 wRC+) The Dodgers’ top offensive pick from the 2020 draft struggled in his first year of pro ball. Like many high school hitters, Vogel is a developmental project who will take several years to round into full form. His speed and center field defense still make him an enticing prospect to follow.
Ismael Alcantara, 23.1 (A: 61 G, .307/.377/.590, 12 HR, 8.7 BB%, 28.7 K%, 146 wRC+) It was a solid year for Alcantara, who didn’t get assigned to Rancho until mid-June but made the most of his time. He played mostly outfield but did see limited time as first, second, and third base as well, and that versatility could help him get at bats next year in what looks like a strong High-A lineup.
Jose Ramos, 20.8 (ACL: 15 G, .383/.456/.633, 3 HR, 10.3 BB%, 20.6 K%, 180 wRC+; 47 G, .313/.377/.559, 8 HR, 7.3 BB%, 25.9 K%, 138 wRC+) Ramos saw his status skyrocket after an explosive several months split between Arizona and Rancho. Ramos profiles as a typical right fielder, with a strong arm and some of the best power in the entire organization. His flatter swing allows him to attack fastballs at the top of the zone, where he does the most damage.
Luis Rodriguez, 19.1 (ACL: 54 G, .216/.326/.367, 8 HR, 11.4 BB%, 30.9 K%, 86 wRC+) The highly touted Rodriguez whiffed more than the Dodgers probably would’ve liked, but he also tied for fourth in the Arizona Complex League in homers, in what was his first pro season despite signing in 2019. He’s still extremely talented, but he’ll need a better 2022 to regain the prospect status he had right after his signing.
Damon Keith, 21.4 (ACL: 23 G, .333/.453/.551, 1 HR, 15.1 BB%, 27.9 K%, 162 wRC+) The Dodgers’ only signed offensive draft pick from this current class, Keith was a small-school performer with big exit velos, and he impressed in nearly a month’s worth of games after signing.
Roger Lasso, 17.7 (DSL: 42 G, .244/.349/.417, 1 HR, 13.8 BB%, 18.4 K%, 114 wRC+) The switch-hitting Panamanian outfielder––no relation to Ted, presumably–– held his own in his first pro season, though did not receive a coveted invite to the Dodgers’ instructional league team. He still could find himself in Arizona next season, though it wouldn’t be a surprise to see him back in the Dominican, either.
Victor Sosa, 18.8 (DSL: 45 G, .277/.388/.372, 2 HR, 15.7 BB%, 12.9 K%, 120 wRC+) Like Rodriguez and Fernandez, Sosa was signed in 2019 but played his first pro season this year. Even in the DSL, it’s always good to see a teenager walk more than they strike out. Sosa split time between both corner outfield spots and first base.
