Dodgers top outfield prospects of the decade

Outfield – Joc Pederson

Joc Pederson was one of the few prospects on this list who was not a first-round pick. Joc was drafted in the eleventh round of the 2010 draft. In his minor league days, Pederson provided plenty of stolen bases as he swiped thirty bases in two different minor league seasons. While his speed did not carry over to the big leagues, his “pop” certainly has as Joc is a lock for thirty home runs a season if given enough playing time. Joc will enter his final season before free agency in 2020.

Outfield – Alex Verdugo

Dugie was the Dodgers’ second-round pick in the 2014 draft. Verdugo was always a productive prospect although his ceiling was always left open for interpretation. Alex maxed out at 13 home runs in a minor league season but has shown plenty of pop in the big leagues. He hit .329 in 2018 as he spent another season in the minor leagues due to the Dodger outfield being crowded. He was a very good if not spectacular prospect.

Outfield – Yasiel Puig

The enigmatic Yasiel Puig is one of two international signings to make this list. After defecting from Cuba, Puig spent a year in Mexico before coming over to the Dodgers’ minor league system. Puig hit .326 in his brief minor league career but did enough to show off his five tools and earn a call up to Los Angeles. Puig’s best minor league season came in 2013 when he played 40 games at the Double-A level and hit .313 with eight home runs.
