Overview
- The Dodgers entered the 2026 season with the No. 2 farm system per MLB Pipeline, a ranking reported on Friday, May 22, 2026, that highlights an outfield-heavy prospect pool.
- Four of Los Angeles’s top five prospects are outfielders — Josue De Paula, Zyhir Hope, Eduardo Quintero and Mike Sirota — and five Dodgers outfielders appear on MLB Pipeline’s Top 100 list.
- The club lists 12 outfielders among its Top 30 prospects, with players spread across levels: three at Triple-A, four at Double-A (including a Tulsa cluster), two at High-A and three at Single-A.
- Dodgers director of player development Matt McGrath said the group offers complementary skills — contact, power, speed and defense — and cited recent minor-league form such as Kendall George leading the Texas League and Ryan Ward’s home run output.
- The depth gives the front office roster flexibility: it can promote internal options to cover injuries and long-term needs or package surplus players in trades, though executives stress a preference for keeping homegrown contributors to help sustain championship runs.
