With actual (spring training) games about to start, all the major prospect lists entering 2026 are in, which allows us to form a consensus of sorts. For the Dodgers prospects, the outfielders lead the way.
Josue De Paula is the top-rated Dodgers prospect at Baseball Prospectus, MLB Pipeline, FanGraphs, and ESPN. Eduardo Quintero is the top-rated prospect in the system according to The Athletic and Baseball America. De Paula’s average prospect rank in baseball at those six sites is 18.5, with Quintero averaging 27.7.
Zyhir Hope is the other Dodgers prospect named in the top 100 at all six of those national outlets, ranging from 18th to 63rd with an average of 37.5. Mike Sirota, completing the Dodgers outfield quartet, was ranked between 34th and 60th at five of the six sites, but was outside of the top 110 at FanGraphs.
Those six sites have the longest track record of national prospect rankings, but the Dodgers outfielders lead the way elsewhere, too. Thomas Nestico at his TJ Stats newsletter ranked the four Dodgers outfielders among his top 52 prospects, while Aram Leighton had the outfield quartet among his top 41 prospects at Just Baseball.
Shortstop Emil Morales was also named to five top-100 lists, ranging between 56th and 92nd on those lists, missing out only on the Baseball America list.
Baseball America, MLB Pipeline, The Athletic, and ESPN all have standard top-100 lists, while Baseball Prospectus ranked the top 101 and FanGraphs went 110 deep. But there were also a few “just missed”lists of 10 or 20extra prospects, while Kiley McDaniel at ESPN decided to also rank his 101 through 200 prospects, too.
In all, 10 different Dodgers prospects were ranked within the top 111 in baseball entering 2026. If we limit it to top 100 only, seven Dodgers were included on at least one of those lists.
