Dodgers promote the capture perspective Dalton Rushingreports Fabian Ardaya of athletics. Rushing is not yet on the list of 40 men but his colleague receiver Austin Barnes Will be appointed for assignment, reports Robert Murray de Fansided.
Rushing, now 24, was selected by the Dodgers during the 2022 draft. It was technically a second round choice, 40th in total, although this is the club’s first choice. It was withdrawn from ten places due to dodgers exceeding the third level of the competitive balance tax in 2021. The club gave it a signature bonus of just under 2 million dollars, just around the value of the location.
Since then, Rushing has only done puree on the plate. He entered the dish 1,150 times in total, for various clubs of minor leagues. It was struck at a reasonable rate of 21.5% during this period, while drawing walks to an excellent clip of 15.6%. It has 54 circuits and a striking line .277 / .412 / .519, which results in a 154 WRC +.
This production would be excellent from any position, but especially for a recipient, a place that is generally accompanied by lower offensive expectations. He is also considered a good defender behind the plate, adding to his stock of prospect. The combination has the precipitation of hope for the top 50 consensual. Baseball America currently lists him at n ° 31 with MLB pipeline before at n ° 15. In the pre-season, the Fangraphs gave him place n ° 8, ESPN and Keith Law of the Athletic both had it in # 16.
Despite the obvious talents of Rushing, it was not clear how the dodgers would integrate it. Will Smith Was the regular club receiver for years and has been signed until 2033. The teams with two good graduates will sometimes use the designated shot room to distribute more bats, but dodgers cannot do this. They have Shohei Ohtani At the DH place every day and he also signed in 2033.
This led the dodgers to rush on other positions. He played a little first goal and left field among minors, although he is still behind marble more often than he was in these places.
Barnes being the corresponding movement, it seems that Rushing rushes into the capture mixture alongside Smith. Maybe his ability to play other positions will help the two background nets to enter the programming. Freddie Freeman First locked the base, but there is a path to rush to get a playing time on the field.
Both Teoscar Hernández And Tommy Edman are currently on the injured list. This leaves the club an alignment of external field consisting of Andy pages,, Michael Comforto And James OutmanWith public services guys Hyeseong Kim And Chris Taylor Also contributing on occasion. Pages is the only guy in this group who is currently hitting well, so maybe Rushing can take the playing time for others.
It is too late in the season to rush to save a full year of service time, at least the traditional way. As the best hope, he technically has a way to win a full year of service by finishing in the top two of the recruit vote of the year, although it will be a challenge. No one is currently fled with the NL Roy race, but Rushing is still late on other people who have been standing all year round. Even the best prospects will sometimes fight during the promotion for the first time of the majors, there is therefore no guarantee that the precipitation can simply take over the rest of the season.
Anyway, it seems that the club plans to rush to be good because they leave Barnes. If rushing and they want to send it back, Hunter Feduccia is also on the list of 40 men. Assuming that Rushing ends 2025 shy from the one -year service line, he will be under the control of clubs until 2031, so that he and Smith can theoretically be the captivating duo for the years to come.
More to come.
