He did a lot with those PA’s though, hitting over fifty percent better than league average as a nineteen year old. 298/.409/.614, 10 HR, 13.1 BB%, 27.0 K%, 158 wRC+) Cartaya met all the hype in his short time at Low-A Rancho, where he was limited to just 137 plate appearances due to passport issues and an injury. He’ll turn 25 early next year, and looks more like catching depth than he does legit catching prospect after this year.ĭiego Cartaya, 20.1 (A: 31 G. 360 OBP was buoyed by fifteen HBPs in just 240 plate appearances-that’s one every sixteen plate appearances. 191 batting average and 32.9% strikeout rate, his. While his 121 wRC+ is far more impressive than his. 191/.360/.426, 11 HR, 14.6 BB%, 32.9 K%, 121 wRC+) The Dodgers took January in the first round of minor league portion of the Rule 5 draft last year. His last two months (post July 20th) saw him walk less (8.7%) and strikeout more (21.7%), but also slug more (.466 SLG after. 278/.371/.433, 9 HR, 13.2 BB%, 18.4 K%, 123 wRC+) Lauded for his plate discipline before the draft, Taylor had more walks than strikeouts for the majority of the year, but ended with a 13.2% walk rate and 18.4% strikeout rate. The 26 year old was part of the Dodgers’ upper minors catching depth, but wasn’t projected for a major league role outside of multiple injuries to the team’s major league catchers.Ĭarson Taylor, 22.4 (A+: 79 G. 175/.296/.266, 2 HR, 11.8 BB%, 16.5 K%, 56 wRC+) Berman was moved to the Twins in a late August deal for lefty reliever Andrew Vasquez (allowed because neither player was on the 40-man roster).

Feduccia will be Rule 5 eligible for the first time this offseason, and should start next year at Triple-A, probably paired up with a veteran minor league free agent signing. 254/.343/.398, 11.9 BB%, 19.0 K%, 101 wRC+) The former twelfth rounder spent his whole year in Double-A Tulsa, with ten homers and solid defense. Ruiz looks to be the Nationals’ starting catcher for the foreseeable future. For a catcher in his age-22 season, that’s really impressive stuff. 248/.348/.395 (102 wRC+) with more walks than strikeouts and another two homers in in 23 games. Ruiz was recalled to the Nationals on August 30, where he remained for the rest of the year, hitting. He obliterated his previous career high of twelve homers even before being traded, with sixteen in OKC and another five with Rochester, the National’s Triple-A affiliate. 311/.381/.631 with a 10% walk rate and 11.7% (143 wRC+) strikeout rate for the Dodgers’ Triple-A team, before slashing a similar. After several underwhelming years that saw his prospect status diminish from a consensus top~40 prospect in the game to a borderline top-100 one, things all came together for Ruiz in 2021 with the best offensive season of his career. 273/.333/.409, 6.3 BB%, 3 HR, 9.4 K%, 101 wRC+) It feels apt to start this section with Ruiz, arguably the Dodgers’ best prospect before headlining a midseason trade to the Nationals for Max Scherzer and Trea Turner (and also the only prospect-relevant catcher who saw time at Triple-A). Levels are Triple-A OKC, Double-A Tulsa, High-A Great Lakes (A+), Low-A Rancho Cucamonga (A), Arizona Complex League (ACL), and the Dominican Summer League (DSL). nineteen and six-twelfths), and key stats. I’ll list each player, their current age (FYI: 19.5 is not nineteen and five months, but rather nineteen and a half, i.e. This is much more “here are some guys and here’s what they did this year” than it is a comprehensive analysis of individual players, which I usually save for my rankings. Not every player in the system is going to be discussed, and not every player that is will be discussed in depth. Lastly, before I begin, I want to discuss a couple things this won’t be. Within positional groups I’ll still start at the higher levels, but with so many players splitting time between multiple levels this year, I felt this was the best way to look at them. I debated a variety of formats for this exercise, ultimately choosing this one over (a) a very long post including all of those things and (b) going position group by position group rather than level by level for the first two parts. The first part will focus on offensive players, the second part on pitchers, and the third part will be a smorgasbord of content: examining the state of the system, looking at early returns on this year’s draft and international signing classes, projecting rotations and lineups for next year at each level, evaluating who to protect from the Rule 5 draft, and naming my prospect team of the year.
