Dodgers' exceptional farm system boasts seven Top 100 prospects, showcasing a wealth of young talent poised for MLB stardom.
The Los Angeles Dodgers’ reputation for building sustained success through player development remains firmly intact. According to a recent survey of MLB executives, the Dodgers’ farm system ranks No. 1 in baseball.
Los Angeles is tied with the Seattle Mariners for the most Top 100 prospects in the game, with seven players earning spots on the list—an impressive reflection of both depth and high-end upside.
Josue De Paula, ranked No. 13 overall, has quickly established himself as one of the most polished young hitters in the minor leagues. Still just 20 years old, his defining trait is a plus hit tool that stands out even within a system known for offensive development. De Paula controls the strike zone with uncommon calm for his age, maintaining balance throughout his smooth left-handed swing.
His ability to cover the plate, recognize spin, and adjust mid-at-bat allows him to produce strong exit velocities without needing to overswing. Evaluators believe he has a legitimate chance to hit for a high average while still accessing his power naturally, a rare combination in today’s game.
After reaching Double-A late last season, De Paula appears poised for a potential breakout in 2026, with the tools to profile as a middle-of-the-order bat in the near future.
Zyhir Hope, ranked No. 20, offers a different but equally exciting skill set. Hope’s approach continues to evolve, but the foundation suggests legitimate 30-homer upside as he matures. Launching 13 home runs as a 20-year-old at High-A last season.
Eduardo Quintero checks in at No. 34 and represents yet another dynamic offensive talent. Known for his bat-to-ball skills and ability to impact the game in multiple ways, Quintero continues to rise as he refines his approach against more advanced pitching.
Infielder Alex Freeland, ranked No. 45, adds a different dimension to the group. A strong defender with a solid offensive foundation, Freeland has steadily climbed the prospect ladder and could factor into the Dodgers’ infield plans in the near future. He also made his MLB debut last season and played in 29 games, posting a .190/.292/.310, although a small sample size, he likely will be looking to improve after a difficult stretch.
On the pitching side, Jackson Ferris (No. 98) anchors the Dodgers’ Top 100 arms. Ferris has impressed evaluators with his command and developing arsenal, projecting as a potential rotation piece. Outfielder Mike Sirota (No. 64) and infielder Emil Morales (No. 100) round out the list, each bringing upside and athleticism that further highlight the system’s depth.
Altogether, the Dodgers’ No. 1 ranking reflects an organization that continues to balance star power at the top with waves of talent behind it—a formula that keeps Los Angeles positioned for long-term success.
