With the minor league season nearing its halfway point, Baseball America has released an updated Top 100 Prospects list. The Dodgers’ outfield depth is on display, with the current Tulsa Drillers trio featuring prominently near the top, while Great Lakes places two more bats firmly within the upper echelon of minor league talent. Let’s take a look at how the industry rates the Dodgers’ top young talent.

——

De Paula had already claimed the top spot in the org in their previous ranking, slotting in just outside the Top 10 at #11. Now he moves up even further due to his outstanding performance in Double-A. The 21-year-old is slashing .322/.419/.546 with nine home runs and a league-leading 19 doubles. All that’s left is proving he’s capable of playing major-league quality defense and he’ll be ready for the show.

Sirota’s debut ended prematurely in 2025 due to a knee injury but he’s shown no ill-effects this season, continuing to rake at every level. After dominating A-ball again at the outset, Mike was promoted to Double-A where he’s batting .377 with a 1.054 OPS through 14 games. As long as he stays healthy, Sirota should continue to establish himself as one of the best hitting prospects in the minors.

Coming into the year, Quintero was rated by Baseball America as the Dodgers’ best prospect. But a slow start in the cold of Michigan in April caused him to drop a few spots and be overtaken by JDP. Eduardo bounced back in May by hitting .372 with seven doubles and 18 stolen bases. Quintero hasn’t homered since April 25th, though his power is still above average along with the rest of his tools.

Morales came into the year ranked outside of the Top 100 by Baseball America, then climbed to #61 in last month’s update. Now he’s in the Top 50, thanks to a huge start to the season with Ontario where he hit .323/.385/.570 in 36 games. That led to a promotion to High-A Great Lakes, where he’s adjusting to more advanced pitching while still showing off big raw power and infield actions.

Like Morales, Hope can hit the ball very, very far. Zyhir slugged a career high 13 home runs in 2025, but he already has 11 in just 51 games this year in Double-A. Despite batting .291 and cutting his strikeout rate by a few points, there are still questions about his hitting ability. Hope will have continue to prove himself as he inches closer to the major leagues over the next couple of years.
