As Eric Stephen covered on January 20, the Dodgers have a bevy of promising outfielder prospects in their minor league system. On Wednesday, Baseball America dropped its Top 100 prospect list, listing the following farmhands:
- 20. Eduardo Quintero, CF/OF
- 24. Josue De Paula, RF/OF
- 45. Mike Sirota, CF
- 63. Zyhir Hope, CF
In comparison, there have been changes, especially when compared to last year’s list, which was headlined by Roki Sasaki. In addition to Sasaki, Dalton Rushing, Alex Freeland, and Jackson Ferris dropped off the list due to major league promotion or being supplanted by other talent.
While these four outfield prospects are quite promising, they are at least a couple of years away from playing in The Show in Los Angeles, even with an aggressive promotion schedule, which would be unlikely with the signing of Kyle Tucker, announced and introduced on Wednesday.
Quintero is now the Dodgers’ #1 prospect per BA, making the jump from #7 in 2025. Quintero was previously unranked in BA’s previous Top 100 list. Quintero played at both Low-A Rancho Cucamonga and High-A Great Lakes in 2025, hitting .293/.415/.508 with 19 home runs and a 152 wRC+ in 113 games.
De Paula is now the Dodgers’ #2 prospect per BA, making the jump from #4 in 2025. De Paula is no stranger to Baseball America’s overall rankings, as he was ranked eighteenth overall in 2025 and thirty-third overall in 2024. De Paula primarily played in High-A Great Lakes in 2025, hitting .263/.406/.421 with 12 home runs in 98 games, before promotion to Double-A Tulsa.
Sirota, who was acquired in the Gavin Lux trade, is now the Dodgers’ #3 prospect per BA, making the jump from #25 in 2025. Josh Norris of BA identified Sirota as one of his candidates to rise within the top 100, blaming his knee injury for his current rank:
The Northeastern-bred outfielder was off to a scalding start in the Midwest League before his season ended. Still, the reviews were clear: He has the toolset and polish to jump to the head of Los Angeles’ cluster of talented outfielders.
As previously mentioned, Sirota was working on a monster season after being promoted to Double-A with a slash line of .333/.452/.616 with 32 extra-base hits in 59 games in A-ball before his injury.
Hope, who was acquired in the Michael Busch trade, is now the Dodgers’ #4 prospect per BA, making the slight jump from #5 in 2025. Hope primarily played in High-A with a .265/.377/.428 slash line, 13 home runs, and 27 doubles before also being promoted to Double-A Tulsa.
As it stands, these four outfielder prospects should be quite entertaining to watch develop over the next couple of seasons in Tulsa and, eventually, barring major setbacks, Triple-A Oklahoma City before donning the pantone of Dodger blue.
