10 Dodgers Prospects To Know Beyond The Top 30 in 2025

Baseball America’s Top 30 Los Angeles Dodgers Prospects entering 2025 are here exclusively for subscribers. The list includes updated scouting reports, BA grades and tool grade projections every player.

Inevitably, there are players every year who barely miss the cut when we narrow down the list. These players are all worth monitoring for various reasons and it’s likely some will either reach the big leagues in 2025 or enjoy breakout seasons lower in the minors. Last year’s list, for example, identified future trade chip Alexander Albertus and current Top 100 Prospect Zyhir Hope.

Here are next 10 players to know in the Dodgers system beyond their Top 30. You can find the complete index of players who just missed their teams’ respective lists here.

31. Hunter Feduccia, C. The Dodgers are set at catcher with Will Smith and Austin Barnes in the big leagues and Dalton Rushing atop the system, but Feduccia made his big league debut in 2024 and has the all-around chops to be a big league backup. Give the logjam in Los Angeles, he might need a change of scenery. 

32. Jesus Tillero, RHP. Tillero was impressive in the Dominican Summer League in 2023, then showed well in fits and starts in the Arizona Complex League. His fastball-changeup combination is interesting but his slider will need to come along. He might also benefit from adding a cutter. His future will also hinge on how much strength he can add in the coming years. 

33. Chris Newell, OF. When it comes to power and speed, Newell has it in spades. He was the only minor leaguer in 2024 to pair 25 home runs with 30 stolen bases. Problem is, he also struck out at a 33% clip. Newell’s carrying tools will give him plenty of leeway, but if he doesn’t make more contact he is unlikely to escape the minor leagues. 

34. Patrick Copen, RHP. Stuff-wise, Copen was one of the biggest breakouts in L.A.’s system in 2024. Scouts who are more bearish see a stiff mover with a limited mix who might fit best in a relief role. Copen’s season ended at High-A Great Lakes when he was struck in the face by a line drive and suffered severe injuries. 

35. Logan Wagner, 1B. The Dodgers popped Wagner in the sixth round of the 2022 draft but he’s had problems staying on the field. He showed well in a short stint at Low-A in 2024, but scouts who saw him reported a player with the potential for above-average power from both sides of the plate, which he’ll need if he winds up at first base long term. 

36. Christian Zazueta, RHP. Zazueta came to Los Angeles from the Yankees in a trade before the 2024 season. His father was a professional basketball player and has passed his athleticism to his son. The righthander is a raw ball of clay, but scouts who saw him at Low-A tagged him as a potential back-end starter thanks to an array of potentially average pitches headed by a fastball that already scraped 94 mph. 

37. Adrian Torres, LHP. The Dodgers signed both the best righthander and the best lefthander in the international signing class that opened on Jan. 15, 2025. The righthander is Roki Sasaki. The southpaw is Torres, who boasts an athletic delivery, a fastball up to 95 mph and a crisp slider.  

38. Jared Karros, LHP. Karros is the son of former Dodger Eric Karros. The younger Karros was taken by Los Angeles out of UCLA in the 16th round of the 2022 draft. He showed well in 2024, which he split between High-A and Double-A, but also dealt with a bout of tenderness in his left elbow. At his best, he has the best control in the system and has a fastball with solid angle and a crisp slider. 

39. Wyatt Crowell, LHP. Crowell was the Dodgers’ fourth-round pick in 2023 out of Florida State. The Dodgers liked him thanks to his combination of athleticism and stuff, but he’s had trouble staying on the mound and threw just 43.2 innings in 2024. At his best he shows a fastball up to 95 mph and a slider that plays to both lefties and righties as part of a varied arsenal. 

40. Ronan Kopp, LHP. At his peak, Kopp has the stuff to be dominant. Now, he needs to get back to his best. His fastball gets up to 98 mph and complements it with a slider and changeup that drive plenty of swings and misses. To make his stuff more effective against advanced hitters, he’ll need to throw it in the zone more often instead of relying on chase swings.
