Los Angeles Dodgers: Reranking the Dodgers top ten prospects
By Jason Reed
10. IF Drew Maggi (MLB Pipeline: NR)
Drew Maggie is having a fairly good season down in AAA Oklahoma City, putting up great numbers in the process. Maggi has played in 32 games for OKC, and is second on the team with a .346 batting average. Maggi has also slugged three home runs, brought in 17 RBIs, and has scored 23 runs himself.
Maggi provides something that the Dodgers big league club has failed to do, he can hit left-handed pitching. Against southpaws, the infielder is batting at a .421 clip this year. While he would not necessarily solve any problems for the Dodgers right now, his impressive play should merit him an inclusion on this list.
Throw in the fact that Maggi is very flexible defensively, with the ability to play shortstop, second, and third, and his inclusion seems like a no-brainer.
9. RHP Mitchell White (MLB Pipeline: 9)
The first prospect that is ranked the same as their MLB Pipeline ranking is the right-handed throwing Mitchell White. White was drafted in the second round of the 2016 MLB Draft by the Dodgers and has turned some heads. Mitchell’s velocity is up from the low to high nineties, and his numbers are reflecting that.
In split time between different levels in 2016 White dominated his opposition. Throwing 22.0 innings, White managed to not allow a single earned run, allowing seven hits in the process. This season he has allowed runs, as his ERA has spiked to 3.72 in 38.2 innings. However, that should be of no concern for the Dodgers, as his stuff is seeming to get better and better.
