The 2025 Dodgers are widely viewed as World Series favorites, and beyond the big leagues, they have MLB Pipeline's fourth-ranked farm system in baseball. There's a lot of talent from top to bottom in the organization, setting up the club to be competitive in the long run.

The Dodgers have already gotten some big contributions from their rookies in the young season, as No. 1 overall prospect Roki Sasaki, L.A. No. 14 Ben Casparius and Jack Dreyer have helped the big league club to a 14-6 start to its title defense.

All the while, the Dodgers' prospects are getting to work in the Minors, with the goal of one day following in those footsteps. Here's one prospect off to a hot start at every level of their farm system (all stats below are entering Thursday's games):

Triple-A Oklahoma City: SS Alex Freeland

Freeland rose from High-A to Triple-A last year, and has hit the ground running with the new season. He hit .329 with an .880 OPS in his first 17 games, collecting eight doubles, 17 RBIs and five stolen bases.

The Dodgers' No. 5 prospect (No. 68 overall) could be knocking on the door of the big leagues this year, although he's blocked at his natural position by Mookie Betts. Five of Freeland's starts have come at third base, and he's also seen time at second base in previous years. A switch-hitter, he could potentially add some balance to Los Angeles' righty-heavy utility group.

Double-A Tulsa: LHP Jackson Ferris

Ferris set the bar high in his first year in the Dodgers' system, when he was named the organization's Minor League Pitcher of the Year. The team's No. 4 prospect (No. 67 overall) is currently on the development list, which allows Minor League organizations to monitor the usage of their players while still keeping them around the team, but the 21-year-old southpaw struck out 13 across his first two starts and held opponents to two runs on eight hits and six walks.

Ferris came to the Dodgers' organization as part of the trade that sent Michael Busch to the Cubs ahead of the 2024 season. He's likely at least a year away from becoming an option for the big league club.

High-A Great Lakes: OF Zyhir Hope

The other part of the return from the Busch deal, Hope has continued to be one of the Dodgers' most electric prospects. The 20-year-old has been tearing up his first taste of High-A ball, slashing .364/.451/.636 through his first 11 games.

Hope, the Dodgers' No. 6 prospect (No. 71 overall), opened eyes in last year's Arizona Fall League and continued to make a good impression in his first big league camp this spring. He's a ways away from getting the call to the Majors, but he and fellow prospect Josue De Paula (No. 3) could both be a big part of the club's outfield of the future.

Single-A Rancho Cucamonga: OF Mike Sirota

The Dodgers drafted, and failed to sign, Sirota out of high school in 2021. So there had been interest long before they acquired the 21-year-old from the Reds in exchange for Gavin Lux this past offseason.

In a small sample, Sirota has shown flashes of why the Dodgers had been eyeing him. He's gotten on base at a .462 clip and recorded a 1.027 OPS in his first six professional games with the Quakes. Los Angeles' No. 21 prospect has seen time at all three outfield positions, though he hasn't put his plus speed to use on the basepaths much yet.
