Dodgers welcome newcomers to Top 30 prospects list

As the reigning World Series champions get into the stretch run of their title defense, the Dodgers' outlook down the road continues to be promising.

Following MLB Pipeline's latest midseason reranking, the Dodgers have five prospects on the overall Top 100 list, highlighted by No. 12 overall prospect Josue De Paula. This year's Futures Game MVP, the 20-year-old De Paula ascended to the top spot in the organization after Roki Sasaki and Dalton Rushing graduated from prospect status earlier this year.

The names at the top of the Dodgers' Top 30 list have generally remained the same, with some light shuffling, but there are changes in the bottom two-thirds of the list after the organization replenished its prospect ranks at the 2025 Draft and Trade Deadline.

Here’s a look at the Dodgers' top prospects:

1. Josue De Paula, OF (MLB No. 12)
2. Zyhir Hope, OF (MLB No. 19)
3. Alex Freeland, SS/3B (MLB No. 43)
4. Eduardo Quintero, OF (MLB No. 55)
5. Mike Sirota, OF (MLB No. 66)

Biggest jump/fall

Here are the players whose ranks changed the most from the preseason list:

Jump: Mike Sirota, OF (Preseason: 21 | Midseason: 5)
Acquired from the Reds along with the No. 41 pick in the 2025 Draft this past offseason, Sirota has done nothing but impress in his first season in the organization. The 23-year-old made his professional debut with Single-A Rancho Cucamonga and quickly earned a promotion to High-A Great Lakes, combining to slash .333/.452/.616 in 59 games between the two levels. Sirota has been sidelined since hurting his right knee on a slide on July 5 and won't be eligible to return until the Loons' final regular-season series in September.

Fall: Kendall George, OF (Preseason: 15 | Midseason: 25)
George has been using his 80-grade speed as a weapon this season, leading all Minor Leaguers with 68 stolen bases. But in order to put that tool to good use, he'll have to find ways to get on base at a higher rate. The outfield is an area of strength for the Dodgers' farm system; four of the team's top five prospects and three of the seven newcomers to the Top 30 list are outfielders. Still only in his age-20 season, George has plenty of time to continue developing.

New to the list

Here are the players added to the Top 30 from outside the organization:

No. 8: James Tibbs III, OF (Dustin May trade)
No. 13: Adam Serwinowski, LHP (three-team trade with Rays and Reds)
No. 14: Zach Root, LHP (No. 40 pick in 2025 Draft)
No. 15: Charles Davalan, OF (No. 41 pick in '25 Draft)
No. 23: Cam Leiter, RHP (No. 65 pick in '25 Draft)
No. 28: Zach Ehrhard, OF (May trade)
No. 30: Aidan West, SS (No. 135 pick in '25 Draft)
