Dodgers News: Five Dodgers Land on MLB Pipeline’s Preseason Top 100 Prospects List

LOS ANGELES, CA—The 2026 Major League Baseball season is less than three weeks away, with pitchers and catchers set to report to camp in Arizona and Florida.

That said, that also means that we’ve gotten our annual Top 100 prospect list from MLB Pipeline for the upcoming season, and the Los Angeles Dodgers came out well in the rankings.

Overall, Los Angeles finished with five prospects on the Top 100 list:

• No. 15 Josue De Paula
• No. 27 Zyhir Hope
• No. 30 Eduardo Quintero
• No. 60 Mike Sirota
• No. 92 Emil Morales

The list is very similar to the most recently published Baseball America Top 100, which we wrote about yesterday, with the lone difference being the inclusion of infielder Emil Morales and Josue De Paula as the team’s No. 1-ranked prospect, rather than Quintero.

At the start of the 2025 season, the Dodgers finished with six prospects on the Top 100 list, headlined by recently signed Japanese right-hander Roki Sasaki, who immediately became the No.1 overall prospect in the sport.

By season’s end, despite multiple players losing their prospect rank, including Dalton Rushing, the team still finished with a whopping seven players and the consensus No.1-ranked farm system in the sport.

De Paula remains the top prospect in L.A., ranking No. 15 overall. The 20-year-old spent most of 2025 with High-A Great Lakes before a brief call-up to Double-A Tulsa to finish the season.

He posted a slash line of .250/.391/.400, with 12 homers, 44 RBIs, and 32 stolen bases. Considered one of the most polished young hitters in the organization for some time, De Paula could debut in the majors this season if he keeps developing.

Hope, who just turned 21, was ranked as Pipeline’s No. 27 prospect. Over the last two seasons, he has followed a similar path as De Paula, including a brief stint at Double-A at the end of last season. Between High-A and Double-A, Hope posted a .266 batting average, a .376 on-base percentage, and a .428 slugging percentage, with 13 home runs, 29 doubles, and 80 RBIs.

Perhaps the biggest jump from last year to this year is Quintero, 20, who ranked No. 30 after a breakout 2025 season. He was named California League Player of the Year and the Dodgers’ Branch Rickey Minor League Player of the Year. After a strong start with Single-A Rancho Cucamonga, where he posted a .293/.415/.508 slash line with 19 home runs, 69 RBIs, and 47 steals, he was promoted to High-A to finish the year.

Sirota, 22, was ranked No. 60. As part of the Reds’ return in the Gavin Lux trade last winter, Sirota made an impressive professional debut, posting a slash line of .333/.452/.616 with 13 home runs, 16 doubles, and 54 RBIs. His season was cut short to 59 games due to a right knee injury, but even in this limited time, he demonstrated why the Dodgers were so interested in him.

Morales, 19, completes the Dodgers’ list at No. 92. Following a strong Rookie ball performance, Morales continued to excel after moving up to Single-A last season, posting a .339/.420/.548 slash line and driving in 27 runs over 30 games with Rancho Cucamonga.

Due to the Dodgers high spending the last three seasons, along with their signings of Edwin Díaz and Kyle Tucker, the team has lost several draft picks in this year’s MLB Draft, so don’t be surprised if Andrew Firedman and Co. trade away from key areas of depth to help replenish their minor league roster.
