Dodgers’ Mookie Betts and Yoshinobu Yamamoto Spark Unexpected Spring Breakout—What It Means for the Season Ahead
As for Yamamoto, he was ranked as the fourth-best pitcher among ace-quality arms by Andy McCullough, Will Sammon, and Sahadev Sharma of The Athletic. Shohei Ohtani ranked ninth on the list and Blake Snell ranked 12th.
PROSPECT WATCH
The Dodgers play the Chicago White Sox as part of this year’s spring breakout, and the name drawing the most hype out of the Dodgers’ system is their no. 1 prospect, outfielder Josue De Paula. Jim Callis of MLB.com also highlights right-hander Marlon Nieves as someone to keep an eye on for Saturday’s game, with the Dodgers vice player of player development raving about his potential.
“Marlon flew under the radar, even a little bit internally,” Rhymes said. “Once he went to Rancho and was pretty dominant there, that was eye-opening. His stuff is really good. His cutter and slider are excellent pitches, and that two-seamer has such velocity. He has a real feel for execution and manipulation. He’s a hell of an athlete, such an easy, whippy thrower.”
The 20-year-old right-hander logged 84 innings between rookie ball and Single-A Rancho Cucamonga, posting a 2.79 ERA and 1.119 WHIP with 94 strikeouts and 44 walks.
