Here are the Dodgers' 2025 Top 30 prospects

Without a doubt, the Dodgers are baseball¡¯s model franchise at both the Major and Minor League levels. They captured their second World Series title in five seasons in 2024 while making their 12th consecutive trip to the playoffs. They also continued to excel at acquiring and developing prospect talent, maintaining a farm system that ranks among baseball¡¯s best.

The system got even stronger with the January arrival of coveted Japanese right-hander Roki Sasaki, who ranks No. 1 on MLB Pipeline¡¯s Top 100 Prospects list. In the 12 months before that signing, Los Angeles also added two Top 100 Prospects (left-hander Jackson Ferris, outfielder Zyhir Hope) in a single trade that sent Michael Busch and Yency Almonte to the Cubs, and signed one high-ceiling shortstop (Emil Morales) on the international market and another (Kellon Lindsey) as its first-round pick.

The winning and supply of homegrown talent don¡¯t figure to end anytime soon. While it¡¯s true that the Dodgers have as much spending power as any club, they also have several rookies ready to contribute as needed in 2025, a group headlined by Sasaki, catcher Dalton Rushing and shortstop Alex Freeland. They also may have the best collection of teenage talent in baseball, led by outfielders Josue De Paula, Eduardo Quintero and Ching-Hsien Ko; shortstops Morales, Lindsey and Joendry Vargas; and third baseman Chase Harlan.

Here's a look at the Dodgers¡¯ top prospects:
1. Roki Sasaki, RHP (MLB No. 1)
2. Dalton Rushing, C/OF (MLB No. 30)
3. Josue De Paula, OF (MLB No. 40)
4. Jackson Ferris, LHP (MLB No. 70)
5. Alex Freeland, SS (MLB No. 71)

Biggest jump/fall

Here are the players whose ranks changed the most from the 2024 preseason list to the 2025 preseason list.

Jump: Alex Freeland, SS (2024: unranked | 2025: 5)
He broke out in his second full pro season, advancing to Triple-A while totaling 53 extra-base hits and 31 steals and providing quality defense.

Fall: Payton Martin, RHP (2024: 11 | 2025: unranked)
After adding power to his fastball and slider and posting a 30 percent strikeout rate in 2023, he lost weight and velocity last season as his K rate plummeted to 17 percent.
