The Los Angeles Dodgers’ top prospect, Dalton Rushing, is on track to make his highly anticipated MLB debut in 2025. After a standout 2024 season where he was named the Dodgers’ Minor League Player of the Year, Rushing is ready to showcase his skills at the highest level.
Primarily a catcher, Rushing demonstrated his versatility by moving to the outfield in 2024, making 27 starts in left field after his promotion to Triple-A. With veteran Austin Barnes in the final year of his contract, Rushing could see time as a backup catcher, first baseman, or designated hitter with the Dodgers in the upcoming seasons.
Ranked as the No. 30 MLB prospect, Rushing’s powerful bat and defensive prowess have drawn comparisons to 15-season MLB veteran Carlos Santana. The Dodgers are excited about his future, and Rushing has been invited to Spring Training to compete for a roster spot. Dodgers fans have plenty to look forward to as this promising young talent takes the next step in his career.
