Here are the Dodgers' Draft picks from Day 2

LOS ANGELES -- After the Dodgers took a pair of pitchers on Day 1 of the 2025 MLB Draft -- including top pick Zach Root at No. 40 -- they continued to stock up on arms on the second and final day of the event on Monday.

L.A. drafted pitchers with 14 of its 21 selections, and all but one of the arms were taken out of college. That's a departure from a recent trend for the organization, which had used three of its past four top picks on high school players before selecting Root on Sunday night.

Here's a look at every player the Dodgers selected on Day 2 of the Draft:

Aidan West, SS (No. 135 overall, Round 4)

• Bats/throws: L/R
• School: Long Reach High School (Md.)
• Calling card: A North Carolina State commit, West's consistent bat speed and path give him the potential to provide solid power from the left-hand side, although there are some concerns about his swing decisions. He's considered a decent shortstop, but his range may have him better suited for third base in the long term.
• Quote: "First, I would just say you’re getting a super passionate guy. No matter what team I’m on. It could be a pickup game for a 13U recreational team, and I would still do everything I can to help my team win. That’s the first thing you’re getting. You’re also just getting an incredible player in general. I’ve always been confident in my abilities. It’s never cockiness for me. It’s just how passionate I am with this game and my abilities, no matter who I’m facing." -- West, to the Baltimore Sun

Davion Hickson, RHP (No. 165 overall, Round 5)

• Bats/throws: R/R
• School: Rice
• Calling card: Hickson had the stuff to serve as Rice's closer last year, and he moved to the rotation this season, when he became the program's Friday night starter. He recorded 90 strikeouts in 73 innings, and his fastball topped out at 97 mph.
• Quote: "We talked about changing my body and changing my pitch types and sharpening them up. If I end up going to [Mississippi State as a transfer], I will be even more prepared and could possibly be a higher pick next year than I am this year." -- Hickson, to 247sports.com

Mason Ligenza, OF (No. 195 overall, Round 6)

• Bats/throws: L/L
• School: Tamaqua Area High School (Pa.)
• Calling card: At 6-foot-5, Ligenza has plenty of strength and raw power in his swing. There is some question of how the Pittsburgh commit will fare against more advanced competition, but he brings an intriguing collection of tools to the table.
• Quote: "Ligenza does have the chance to be a veritable toolshed, using his long strides to run well, especially under way, with an above-average arm. Added strength could help everything play up and eventually fit the profile of a run-producing athletic right fielder type, but teams looking to take the Pittsburgh recruit will have to feel he'll be able to iron out some of the holes in his swing." -- MLB Pipeline scouting report

Mason Estrada, RHP (No. 225 overall, Round 7)

• Bats/throws: L/R
• School: MIT
• Calling card: Estrada may have one of the most interesting stories in this Draft class, as he was an aerospace engineering major at MIT -- but baseball is his passion. Estrada flashed some explosive stuff at this year's Draft Combine, consistently sitting 94-96 mph on his fastball.
• Quote: "I was good at baseball when I was younger. I was not elite. I only had a couple of small looks from D-I programs, a lot of JUCO and D-II, D-III looks, and so no schools that were really interested in me that were worth giving up an MIT degree. So that's why I ended up going to MIT. But it was definitely a juggle focusing on school, focusing on baseball -- I just had to make sure I kept my priorities straight.” -- Estrada

Jack O'Connor, RHP (No. 255 overall, Round 8)

• Bats/throws: R/R
• School: Virginia
• Calling card: O'Connor didn't log many innings in the past two seasons, dealing with a lat injury in 2024 before undergoing a UCL repair with an internal brace in '25. But when healthy, he has a big fastball that has touched 98 mph, along with a plus slider.

Conner O'Neal, C (No. 285 overall, Round 9)

• Bats/throws: L/R
• School: Southeastern Louisiana
• Calling card: O'Neal has a lot of pop from the left-hand side. He slugged .571 and hit 14 homers with 53 RBIs across 52 games this past season, earning All-Louisiana Second Team honors.

Jacob Frost, LHP (No. 315 overall, Round 10)

• Bats/throws: L/L
• School: Kansas State
• Calling card: Frost was a Big 12 Co-Newcomer of the Week in 2024 -- his first season with Kansas State after transferring from Wabash Valley College -- and brings impressive swing-and-miss stuff. He struck out 75 in 66 1/3 innings this past year, although his overall command could use some polish.
• Quote: “[Frost] is a bull. … Physically, he doesn’t tire. He is a veteran guy, when he slows the game down, he’s not getting worked up to make pitch after pitch.” -- Wildcats coach Pete Hughes, to the Kansas State Collegian

Dylan Tate, RHP (No. 345 overall, Round 11)

• Bats/throws: R/R
• School: Oklahoma
• Calling card: Tate was thought to be a potential closer in his first season with Oklahoma after transferring from Jefferson College (Mo.), but he ended up missing the entire regular season with an injury. He impressed in two late-season appearances, in the SEC Tournament and the NCAA Chapel Hill Regional, striking out six against one walk and holding opponents to one run in five innings.

Logan Lunceford, RHP (No. 375 overall, Round 12)

• Bats/throws: R/R
• School: Wake Forest
• Calling card: Wake Forest is known for its pitching lab, and it appears that Lunceford was a beneficiary in his time there. He already boasted a high K rate in his first two college seasons with Missouri, but he really took off after transferring to Wake Forest for his junior year, striking out 88 in 60 innings against 28 walks.

Robby Porco, RHP (No. 405 overall, Round 13)

• Bats/throws: R/R
• School: West Virginia
• Calling card: In addition to having this whole NIL thing figured out, Porco has dialed up his fastball to 97-98 mph when working out of the bullpen, which is where he projects to be long term. Command has been an issue for him, as he has for a 1.2 K/BB ratio across three college seasons.

Davis Chastain, RHP (No. 435 overall, Round 14)

• Bats/throws: R/R
• School: Georgia
• Calling card: A reliever with impressive swing-and-miss stuff, Chastain made strides by cutting down on walks in his third college season. After transferring from Georgia State, he posted a 3.6 BB/9 rate, the best mark of his collegiate career -- albeit in only 12 2/3 innings.

Matt Lanzendorfer, LHP (No. 465 overall, Round 15)

• Bats/throws: L/L
• School: Virginia
• Calling card: Lanzendorfer went from Division III Misericordia (Pa.) to Virginia this past season and was effective out of the bullpen, posting a 2.90 ERA with 40 strikeouts against 13 walks in 22 appearances. His fastball and slider play well off each other and help him miss bats.

AJ Soldra, OF (No. 495 overall, Round 16)

• Bats/throws: L/L
• School: Seton Hall
• Calling card: A toolsy outfielder with good speed and contact skills, Soldra is set to transfer to UConn if he does not reach an agreement with the Dodgers. Soldra hit .330 with a .940 OPS, scoring 53 runs in 54 games for Seton Hall this past season.
• Quote: “He had tremendous talent. His talent was unbelievable. He could run, hit, throw, steal bases, great defensively, and has a cannon for an arm. [He’s an] unbelievable athlete, but his leadership and love for the game was incredible, too.” -- Soldra's high school coach, Anthony Giano, to Capecodleague.com

Sam Horn, RHP (No. 525 overall, Round 17)

• Bats/throws: R/R
• School: Missouri
• Calling card: Horn was ranked as MLB Pipeline's No. 128 Draft prospect, but he's also competing for Missouri's starting quarterback job this fall -- which may be part of the reason why he fell to the 17th round. (He was Heisman winner Travis Hunter's high school quarterback.) Because Tommy John surgery wiped out most of his 2023 season and all of '24, Horn has pitched only 15 innings in college.
• Quote: “Whenever he settles in to figuring out exactly what lane he's going to go in, I think he's going to be phenomenal in whatever he chooses." -- Missouri baseball coach Kerrick Jackson, to SI.com

Finn Edwards, RHP (No. 555 overall, Round 18)

• Bats/throws: R/R
• School: Iowa Western Community College
• Calling card: After posting a 3.67 ERA with 45 strikeouts in 34 1/3 innings in his lone season with Iowa Western, Edwards is set to transfer to Arizona State if he does not reach a deal with the Dodgers.

Anson Aroz, C (No. 585 overall, Round 19)

• Bats/throws: S/R
• School: Oregon
• Calling card: Being a pro athlete runs in the family, as Aroz's uncle, Aaron Semas, helped found Professional Bull Riders, Inc., and was described as “one of the most consistent and toughest bull riders.” Aroz played four seasons for the Ducks and hit .281 with 17 homers and a 1.000 OPS in his senior year.
• Quote: "He’s not perfect, but he pretty darn well almost always is in terms of doing things right. He’s just always doing things right. … He strives to do things right all the time. He’s always on time, he’s always trying to be a good teammate, he’s always trying to pick someone up when they’re down.” -- Oregon head coach Mike Wasikowski, to the Register-Guard

Shane Brinham, LHP (No. 615 overall, Round 20)

• Bats/throws: R/L
• School: Handsworth Secondary School (B.C.)
• Calling card: This year's final overall selection, Brinham was considered one of the top Draft-eligible prep arms out of Canada. The Michigan commit has a solid three-pitch mix and had a 75% whiff rate on his slider in an MLB Draft League appearance last month.
