Los Angeles Dodgers

TRACK RECORD: Santana signed with the Dodgers as a shortstop but converted to pitching after his first season. He earned All-Star honors in the low Class A Midwest League in 2016 and high Class A California League in 2017 before making his major league debut in 2018. Santana began 2019 in Triple-A expecting to be one of the Dodgers' first callups, but his fastball command disappeared and he spent the entire year at Oklahoma City.

SCOUTING REPORT: Santana is a long, lanky righthander with lively stuff. His fastball sits 93-94 mph and touches 97 mph with huge sink and run, and his mid-80s slider has developed into a plus pitch he can throw for strikes or expand the zone with. His upper 80s changeup has also flashed plus when he has a feel for it. Santana generates so much movement on his pitches he struggles to locate them and he started nibbling as his struggles mounted in 2019. He regained his aggressiveness after a late move to the bullpen and posted a 1.72 ERA in relief, compared to 8.00 as a starter.

THE FUTURE: Santana's probability of starting has declined, but he has the stuff to be an impact, late game reliever. He should return to the majors in 2020.

TRACK RECORD: White had Tommy John surgery after high school but bounced back to become Santa Clara's ace as a redshirt sophomore. The Dodgers drafted him 65th overall in 2016 and signed him for $588,300. White looked like a potential No. 2 starter after rising to Double-A in a dominant first season, but injuries and inconsistency halted his rise and continued through 2019 at Triple-A Oklahoma City.

SCOUTING REPORT: At his best, White is “lights out” in the words of observers. His fastball sits 93-94 mph and gets up to 97, his plus curveball sets up hitters early in counts and his plus short slider finishes them for strikeouts. Too often, though, White sits in the low 90s and his curveball and slider are hit-or-miss, resulting in wildly inconsistent outings. Breakdowns in his mechanics affect his command and a long list of injuries, most recently two separate injured list stints for blisters, affect his reliability. His changeup is below-average and resulted in lefties batting .271/.350/.571 against him in 2019.

THE FUTURE: White teases starter potential, but an increasing number of evaluators think his future is in the bullpen because of his health and consistency issues. He'll return to Triple-A in 2020.

TRACK RECORD: Rios finished second in the nation in home runs in 2015 at Florida International and signed with the Dodgers for $222,500 as a sixth-round pick. After hitting for power and average at every level, he overcame a slow start to make his major league debut in 2019 and finished with 35 home runs between Triple-A and the majors.

SCOUTING REPORT: Rios got into a rut early in 2019 when he began chasing balls out of the strike zone, but once he got back in the zone he returned to form as an average hitter with plus power. Rios' quick hands and natural timing allow him to hit all kinds of pitches and translate his massive power into games. He's a physical, lefthanded hitter capable of destroying baseballs, as he did with a 473-foot home run against the Padres on Sept. 26. He has a strong approach and keeps his strikeouts reasonable for a power hitter. Rios looks fine taking infield at third base but devolves to a fringe-average defender there in games. First base is the only position he inspires confidence.

THE FUTURE: Rios' bat is good enough to start. With the Dodgers set with Justin Turner, Cody Bellinger and Max Muncy on the corners, he likely needs a trade to get that opportunity.

TRACK RECORD: Peters grew up rooting for the Dodgers in Los Angeles suburb Glendora and realized his childhood dream of playing for his favorite team when the Dodgers drafted him in the fourth round in 2016. He won MVP of the high Class A California League his first full season and led the Double-A Texas League in home runs in 2018 before reaching Triple-A in 2019.

SCOUTING REPORT: The 6-foot-6 Peters is a chiseled specimen whose strength and long limbs produce jaw-dropping raw power some scouts grade an “80.” He demolishes anything left out over the plate with a leveraged swing that produces power to all fields, but his long arms leave him vulnerable to velocity inside and create huge holes in his swing. He has a career 36 percent career strikeout rate despite solid strike-zone discipline because he swings and misses in the zone so much. Peters is extremely athletic for his size and is a capable defender in center field with average speed and long strides. His above-average arm fits in right field, and he is also experienced playing left field.

THE FUTURE: Peters' power and ability to play all three outfield positions give him an avenue to the majors, but he won't be more than a reserve unless he gets his strikeouts under control. He'll open 2020 back at Triple-A Oklahoma City and has a chance to make his major league debut if he demonstrates the improvements needed.

TRACK RECORD: Santana spent three years in Rookie ball after signing with the Dodgers for $50,000, but he broke out in 2017 and finished tied for the high Class A California League lead in home runs (24) in 2018. He moved to Double-A Tulsa in 2019 and finished third in the Texas League in batting (.301).

SCOUTING REPORT: Santana is an aggressive hitter who hunts fastballs and punishes them. His broad physique and quick bat produce plus power when he connects, and he has as much opposite-field power as pull power. Santana struggles to recognize breaking balls and goes fishing for them below the zone. He swings early to avoid getting into breaking ball counts and walked only 10 times in 102 games in 2019. Santana isn't overly rangy at third base, but he makes highlight-reel reaction plays and has a plus-plus arm.

THE FUTURE: Santana's approach doesn't look great on paper, but it works for him and he keeps producing. He'll move to Triple-A in 2020.

TRACK RECORD: Signed out of Cuba for $6 million in 2015. Estevez struggled for two years before overhauling his swing during the second half of 2018. He advanced to Double-A in 2019 and performed despite missing nearly two months with a hamstring strain.

SCOUTING REPORT: Estevez began doing weighted ball drills in the second half of 2018 and turned into a different hitter. After previously pulling off the ball, he now makes frequent contact up the middle and drives the ball gap-to-gap for doubles. With increased success has come increased confidence, and Estevez now shows advanced feel and solid strike-zone discipline in the batter's box. Estevez lacks impact tools beyond his bat. He is a below-average runner with a thick lower half and limited twitch, making him a below-average shortstop and fringe-average second baseman. His arm strength is fringy and he's prone to sailing throws over the first baseman's head.

THE FUTURE: Estevez has to hit to rise, but he keeps doing exactly that. He'll move to Triple-A in 2020.

TRACK RECORD: The Dodgers signed Uceta for just $10,000 as an 18-year-old out of the Dominican Republic, and he quickly emerged as a steal. He helped pitch Rookie-level Ogden to the Pioneer League championship in 2017 and high Class A Rancho Cucamonga to the California League championship in 2018. He split 2019 between high Class A and Double-A and finished second in the Dodgers' system in ERA (2.77) and strikeouts (141).

SCOUTING REPORT: Uceta is a slight-bodied righthander with an advanced feel to pitch and keeps adding velocity. His fastball ranges from 90-94 mph and plays up with extension and riding life from his lower release height. He pairs his deceptive fastball with a plus mid-80s changeup that mirrors his fastball out of his hand before fading and dropping suddenly. His sweepy upper-70s breaking ball is highly effective against righties and gets nearly as many whiffs as his changeup. Uceta ties everything with average control and has improved at limiting his home runs allowed by staying out of the middle of the plate.

THE FUTURE: Uceta's plus-plus makeup and work ethic lead the Dodgers to believe he'll keep adding weight and velocity. If he does, he has a chance to became a back-of-the-rotation starter.

TRACK RECORD: Mann impressed with his natural hitting ability at Louisville, and the Dodgers drafted him in the fifth round in 2018 believing they could unlock untapped power with a few swing adjustments. Mann made the requested changes and emerged as one of the high Class A California League's top power threats in his first full season, finishing sixth in slugging percentage (.496) and tied for seventh in home runs (19) despite missing a month with a right MCL sprain.

SCOUTING REPORT: Mann looks the part of a major leaguer at 6-foot-3, 180 pounds with a strong core and long levers. Previously a contact hitter, he began using his legs more and added loft to his swing as part of the requested changes and now shows above-average power to all fields. Mann works counts, takes a short path to the ball and keeps his strikeouts reasonable for a power hitter, projecting as an average hitter overall. Mann has quickened his actions and improved his arm strength at second base, but he's still a touch stiff and is more natural at third base, where his range fits better.

THE FUTURE: The Dodgers internally compare Mann to David Freese and see the bat of a potential starter. He'll head to Double-A Tulsa in 2020.

TRACK RECORD: Amaya grew up in suburban Los Angeles and signed with his hometown Dodgers for an above-slot $247,500 bonus as an 11th-round pick in 2017. He played his first full season in 2019 and tied for fifth in on-base percentage (.381) in the low Class A Midwest League before finishing at high Class A.

SCOUTING REPORT: Amaya possesses a promising foundation as a plus defensive shortstop who consistently gets on base. His chase rate is so low it's an outlier, and he rarely swings and misses. He has nearly as many walks (147) as strikeouts (180) in his pro career while being young for every level. Amaya's approach is the strength of his offensive game. He flashes pullside power but overall doesn't do much damage when he connects and projects mostly as a singles and doubles hitter. Amaya is a quick, polished athlete in the middle infield with range to both sides. He has a above-average arm strength and a good internal clock.

THE FUTURE: Amaya's continued offensive growth will determine his ceiling. He'll open 2020 back at Rancho Cucamonga.

TRACK RECORD: McKinstry led Central Michigan with a .325 batting average as a draft-eligible sophomore in 2016. Most teams expected him to return to school, but the Dodgers grabbed him in the 33rd round and gave him $100,000 to sign. McKinstry hit just 11 home runs his first three seasons combined, but he overhauled his swing and hit 19 homers while advancing to Triple-A in 2019.

SCOUTING REPORT: McKinstry has long worked counts, recognized pitches and made consistent contact to project as an average hitter. What changed is McKinstry's power. He added muscle, tweaked his grip and altered his bat path to generate more loft last season. The result was newfound pop evaluators expect to translate to 10-15 home runs in the majors. McKinstry is a versatile athlete capable of playing second base, shortstop and third base at least average. He is an above-average runner with a plus, accurate arm.

THE FUTURE: The Dodgers added McKinstry to their 40-man roster after the season. He is set to debut as a utilityman in 2020.

TRACK RECORD: Vargas was one Cuba's top young hitters and left the island with his father, Cuban baseball legend Lazaro Vargas, in 2015. The Dodgers signed him for $300,000 nearly two years later. Vargas played his first full season in 2019 and ranked second in the low Class A Midwest League in batting (.325) before receiving a promotion to high Class A Rancho Cucamonga, where he excelled as a 19-year-old.

SCOUTING REPORT: Vargas takes an advanced approach and has supreme hand-eye coordination, allowing him to wait pitchers out and drive the ball he wants. He makes a conscious effort to drive the ball the other way with an inside-out swing. Vargas rarely pulls the ball in the air, but with his natural hitting gifts, he could become a plus hitter with 20 home run power once he starts turning on balls. Vargas is a slow mover at third base with limited lateral range and an average arm, so most believe his future is at first base.

THE FUTURE: Vargas will go as far as his bat takes him. He may see Double-A in 2020.

TRACK RECORD: Pages was one of top hitters in his age group in Cuba and signed with the Dodgers for $300,000 late in the 2017-18 international signing period. After struggling to hit in his debut season, Pages leaped forward in year two and finished second in the Rookie-level Pioneer League in home runs (19) and total bases (153).

SCOUTING REPORT: Pages is a strong, athletic hitter with a wild streak that calls to mind Yasiel Puig. He has the strength, bat speed and feel for the barrel to generate a swing path built for future plus power, and he has the hand-eye coordination to keep his strikeouts reasonable and be at least an average hitter. Pages moves well for his size with average speed and has played center field, but he projects best in right field where he can show off his plus-plus cannon for an arm. Pages plays with flair and at times tries to do too much, leading to overswinging at the plate. His effort is inconsistent on defense and the basepaths.

THE FUTURE: Pages' prodigious talent is widely apparent. His focus and maturity will be tested at low Class A Great Lakes in 2020.

TRACK RECORD: Lewis teamed with third baseman Brett Baty to make Lake Travis (Austin, Texas) High a top destination for scouts in 2019. Baty became the 12th overall pick by the Mets while Lewis threw two one-hitters and a no-hitter in a dominant senior season. The Dodgers drafted him in the supplemental second round, No. 78 overall, and signed him for $1,097,500 to forgo a Louisiana State commitment.

SCOUTING REPORT: Lewis is a prototypical big, Texas righthander. He stands an imposing 6-foot-6, 200 pounds and runs his two-seam fastball anywhere from 91-95 mph, with plenty of room to add velocity as he matures. Lewis' curveball is his signature offering. He shows advanced feel to manipulate the shape of the pitch and command it in the strike zone, earning consensus above-average to plus grades. Lewis' changeup is still developing but has flashed average, and he ties everything together with plus control. Lewis didn't pitch after signing because of shoulder issues, but his long-term prognosis is good.

THE FUTURE: The Dodgers plan to move Lewis slowly. If everything clicks, he has mid-rotation potential.

TRACK RECORD: Jackson primarily played the outfield at Utah, but his raw arm strength intrigued scouts during 11 relief appearances as a sophomore. He missed his junior season after having Tommy John surgery, but the Dodgers still drafted him as a pitcher in the 12th round and signed him for $247,500. Jackson returned to health in 2019 and emerged as one of the system's biggest breakouts. He tied for second in the organization in strikeouts (141) and ranked fourth in ERA (3.06) while jumping to high Class A Rancho Cucamonga.

SCOUTING REPORT: Jackson is extremely athletic with a quick arm and a natural feel for a delivery. He runs his fastball from 92-98 mph, sitting 94-96, and backs it up with an upper 80s cutter, mid-80s changeup and low 80s breaking ball. He is still learning what pitch to throw in which counts, and none of his secondaries show better than average. His control comes and goes and is below-average overall.

THE FUTURE: Jackson is still understandably raw given his lack of experience. His future outlook should become clearer in 2020.

TRACK RECORD: De Jesus signed with the Dodgers for $500,000 in 2018 as a third baseman, but he became more athletic after he signed and moved to shortstop. The Dodgers pushed him from the Dominican Summer League to the Rookie-level Arizona League after only 13 games last year and he quickly became a favorite of rival scouts on Arizona's backfields.

SCOUTING REPORT: De Jesus is an advanced hitter who drives the baseball with a simple swing and growing bat speed. He has an athletic, projectable body and the natural loft to his swing to project 20-plus home runs at maturity, and possibly more. De Jesus shows natural, easy actions and a plus arm at shortstop. He has a quick first step and moves well for his size, but most evaluators think his fringy speed and range will eventually push him back to third base.

THE FUTURE: De Jesus is far away, but his bat and athleticism give him an everyday foundation.

TRACK RECORD: The Dodgers made Raley the first Division II player drafted in 2016 when they took him in the seventh round out of Lake Erie (Ohio.) They traded him to the Twins in the Brian Dozier deal in 2018, but reacquired him after the 2019 season in the trade that sent Kenta Maeda to Minnesota. Raley battled through injuries in 2019, missing most of the year with an ankle injury and suffering a shoulder injury after only four games in the Arizona Fall League.

SCOUTING REPORT: Raley has plus-plus raw power that he is beginning to better tap into in games. He hits from an open, upright stance with quiet hands. Raley is aggressive at the plate and needs to better control the strike zone, but he has solid bat-to-ball skills and a simple, repeatable swing that gives him a shot to be an average hitter. He has always put together good at-bats against lefties. He's a good athlete with average speed and plays above-average defense in the corner outfield spots and is playable in a pinch in center. He has an above-average arm.

THE FUTURE: Raley was added to the 40-man roster during the offseason. As a lefthanded power hitter who can play first base and the corner outfield spots capably, he isn't far from an MLB role, although his bat will have to continue to improve for him to be a regular.

TRACK RECORD: The Dodgers purchased Carrillo for $75,000 from the Mexican League in 2016. He rapidly filled out to become one of the hardest-throwing pitchers in the Dodgers organization, but he struggled with his control and posted a 5.44 ERA at high Class A Rancho Cucamonga in 2019.

SCOUTING REPORT: Carrillo added 25 pounds since signing and saw his two-seam fastball jump from 90-94 mph to 94-98 mph last year. His two-seamer has special potential with its velocity and nearly 16 inches of run, but he has yet to harness his newfound power. He walked 51 batters and hit 17 more in 86 innings in 2019 and has well below-average control, especially to his armside. Carrillo complements his two-seamer with a swing-and-miss low 90s cutter and a potentially average changeup, as well as a below-average curveball. Carrillo shows some feel for pitching, and the Dodgers think he will grow into an average strikethrower in time even with his current wildness.

THE FUTURE: Carrillo is 21 and has time to harness his stuff. He will try to take a step forward in 2020.

TRACK RECORD: Pepiot led the Big East Conference with 126 strikeouts as a junior, but he also had the conference's second-most hit batters (15) and third-most walks (44). The Dodgers bet on his stuff and made him the highest-drafted played in Butler history when they selected him in the third round, No. 102 overall, and signed him for $547,500.

SCOUTING REPORT: Pepiot is a big-bodied righthander with dominant stuff on his best days. His fastball sits 93-94 mph with plus life and his changeup was among the best in the 2019 draft class. It sits 83-85 mph with late action and movement in the strike zone, grading easily plus and sometimes plus-plus. He shows feel for spinning a low 80s slider and mid-70s curveball that flash average at their best. Pepiot's problem is inconsistent fastball command and execution. He goes through stretches of horrid wildness and often spirals and is unable to get out of them.

THE FUTURE: The Dodgers gave Pepiot a detailed plan to improve his fastball execution. How well he implements it will determine whether he reaches his starter ceiling.

TRACK RECORD: Ortiz was virtually unknown as an international amateur and didn't sign for nearly a year after becoming eligible. The Dodgers quietly signed him for $60,000. Ortiz impressed in two years in Rookie-ball and made his full season debut in 2019, where he overcame a slow start at low Class A Great Lakes to post a 3.26 ERA and .206 opponent average over his last 16 starts.

SCOUTING REPORT: Ortiz possesses a smooth, easy delivery and growing stuff from the left side. His 91-94 mph fastball plays up with armside life, giving it the potential to be a dynamic pitch if he adds velocity as he matures. Ortiz pairs his fastball with advanced feel for a changeup that creates swings and misses and weak contact against righthanders, and his slider misses barrels against lefthanders. Ortiz shows a feel for mixing his pitches, and his ease of operation allows him average control.

THE FUTURE: Ortiz has all the ingredients of a back-of-the-rotation starter. How well he matures and builds on his frame will determine if he gets there.

TRACK RECORD: Gonzalez failed to advance past low Class A in four seasons before Tommy John surgery wiped out his entire 2017 season and most of 2018. He returned a different pitcher post-surgery and vaulted three levels up to Triple-A in 2019.

SCOUTING REPORT: Gonzalez got considerably stronger during Tommy John rehab and returned throwing significantly harder. He now boasts a power fastball from the left side that sits 94-96 mph and reaches 98 in relief, and it plays up further with a hint of deception that allows the ball to get on hitters quicker than they expect. Gonzalez's fastball is dominant against lefthanded hitters and plenty effective against righties. His average changeup is his best secondary pitch, and he can land his curveball for an early-count strike. His currently fringy slider is an area of focus. Gonzalez throws everything for strikes with average control and goes after hitters with a fastball-dominant attack.

THE FUTURE: The Dodgers added Gonzalez to their 40-man roster after the season. His ability to get both lefties and righties out makes him a bullpen option in 2020.
