Organization Prospect Rankings

BA Grade/Risk: 40/Medium.

Track Record: After three seasons with Iowa and a summer in the Cape Cod League—where he was teammates with Mariners ace George Kirby—Dreyer was signed by the Dodgers as an undrafted free agent in 2021. He’s moved quickly through the minor leagues, skipped Low-A entirely and reached Triple-A in 2024. The Dodgers added him to their 40-man roster in November to shield him from the Rule 5 draft.

Scouting Report: Dreyer is a pure relief prospect and hasn’t made a single start in 100 minor league appearances. He works primarily with two pitches: a mid-90s fastball that peaked at 96 mph and a mid-80s slider with sharp, devastating break toward the feet of righthanders. He also mixed in the occasional curveball in the high 70s. The fastball featured nearly 19 inches of induced vertical break and racked up a miss rate of 29%. His slider was even more successful and got misses at a 36% clip. The curveball was more of a change of pace offering. The biggest reason for Dreyer’s leap forward was because his control took a giant leap forward. In 2023, he walked more than six hitters per nine innings. In 2024, he walked just 12 hitters in 57.1 innings and raised his strike rate by 8%.

The Future: Dreyer is a ready-made big leaguer and will likely get his first look at Los Angeles in 2025. He should fit nicely in a middle-innings role.

Scouting Grades: Fastball: 60 | Curveball: 40 | Slider: 60 | Control: 50.

Draft Prospects

Dreyer missed most of the 2019 season because of a shoulder injury, but was excellent in his four 2020 starts before the coronavirus-mandated shutdown. Dreyer was 2-1, 3.12 with 23 strikeouts in 21.2 innings. Dreyer doesn’t have a clear plus pitch, but his slider will flash above-average. His 90-93 mph average fastball has enough oomph to make hitters respect it. His slow curveball is a little big and loopy and his changeup needs further refinement.
