3 Dodgers Prospects Who Could Give Offense Much-Needed Boost
The Dodgers boast some of the best prospects in baseball, and there are three candidates for a call-up to inject some life into the offense.
The Los Angeles Dodgers, known for their impressive roster of prospects, have identified three potential candidates for a September call-up from Triple-A to bolster their offense. One of these prospects, Josue De Paula, is the team's top prospect. Despite not playing any Triple-A ball yet, De Paula appears ready to contribute to the MLB roster.
He has an impressive batting average of .314/.411/.562, with 25 home runs and 95 RBIs in Double-A this season. Scouts have even compared his swing to that of Corey Seager, a highly-regarded Dodgers prospect. De Paula's speed is another advantage, as he has stolen 29 bases. However, his defensive skills are a concern. Another prospect worth considering is Jamese Tibbs III.
While he also faces defensive challenges, Tibbs' batting average of .299/.417/.556 in Triple-A is impressive. He has 26 home runs and 92 RBIs in the same season. Tibbs' experience at the highest level of minor league ball makes him one of the more ready players out of the highly-touted prospects. His left-handed bat would also provide a valuable complement to the team's current lineup.
Lastly, Zach Ehrhard, who has made the jump from Double-A to Triple-A this year, is another promising option. With a batting average of .296/.414/.485, 17 home runs, and 79 RBIs, Ehrhard's offensive potential seems to surpass that of Alex Call, currently the highest-rated option. His defensive skills are also the best out of the three prospects.
The Dodgers may call up one of these prospects from Triple-A in September, providing a much-needed boost to their offense.
