The Los Angeles Dodgers continue to showcase the strength of their farm system, and on Monday, a pair of top prospects took a significant step forward. Outfielders Josue De Paula and Zyhir Hope, both ranked among MLB Pipeline’s top 20 prospects, have been promoted to Double-A Tulsa.

The move further highlights why the Dodgers own MLB.com’s top-ranked farm system. Through international scouting, savvy trades, and strong player development, the Dodgers continue to produce talent that projects to impact the major-league roster in the near future. De Paula and Hope represent two of the brightest names in that pipeline, and both now face a crucial test against more advanced competition.

De Paula, 20, has been one of the most exciting young players in the organization since signing as an international free agent. His rise has been steady, punctuated by MVP honors at the 2025 MLB Futures Game during All-Star weekend, where he shone against elite prospects. At 6’3” with an athletic frame, he combines raw power with advanced plate discipline traits that have scouts projecting him as a potential middle-of-the-order bat.

With High-A Great Lakes this season, De Paula hit .263 with a .406 OBP, .421 SLG, and 12 home runs. The cousin of former NBA star Stephon Marbury, he is excelling despite being younger than most of his competition. His ability to adjust quickly at each level underscores why evaluators believe he could become one of baseball’s premier outfielders.

Hope, 20, is rapidly building his own case as one of the Dodgers’ most dynamic talents. Acquired from the Cubs in the Michael Busch trade last offseason, he was initially viewed as a secondary piece behind left-hander Jackson Ferris. Instead, Hope has emerged as a potential five-tool outfielder. His athleticism first drew attention during Spring Training, when he impressed with both his glove and approach at the plate.

This season, he has slashed .264/.377/.428 with 26 stolen bases, showing a blend of speed, defense, and offensive upside that has scouts raving. Ranked MLB Pipeline’s No. 19 overall prospect, he’s quickly shifting from a throw-in to a centerpiece of the Dodgers’ long-term plans.

For the Dodgers, the promotions of De Paula and Hope underscore a farm system brimming with high-ceiling talent. With both prospects now just two levels away from Dodger Stadium, the organization once again demonstrates why it sets the standard in player development.
