The Los Angeles Dodgers had four prospects featured on Baseball America’s top 100 list for the 2024 season, headlined by Dalton Rushing (No. 50) and Gavin Stone (No. 82).

Andy Pages (No. 96) and Nick Frasso (No. 97) also made the rankings. Meanwhile, Josue De Paula and River Ryan were included in the “just missed” category.

Rushing has climbed prospect lists this year after a solid 2023 season that saw him hit .228/.404/.452 with 18 doubles, 15 home runs and 53 RBI in 89 games for High-A Great Lakes.

Stone spent most of the past season with Triple-A Oklahoma City but also had several brief stints in the Majors. He went 7-4 with a 4.74 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 10.7 strikeouts per nine in 21 games (19 starts) for OKC, and finished 1-1 with a 9.00 ERA, 6.64 FIP and 1.90 WHIP across 31 innings in L.A.

Pages appeared in only 34 games between Double-A Tulsa and OKC due to a season-ending shoulder injury that required surgery. He batted a combined .277/.425/.482 with 12 doubles, three home runs and 25 RBI in 146 plate appearances.

Frasso went 4-6 with a 3.77 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 10.4 strikeouts per nine in 93 innings pitched over 25 starts for the Drillers and OKC Dodgers.

De Paula hit .284/.396/.372 with 15 doubles, two triples, two home runs, 40 RBI and 14 stolen bases over 74 games in his first season with Single-A Rancho Cucamonga.

Ryan went a combined 1-7 with a 3.80 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 9.5 strikeouts per nine in 104.1 innings pitched between the Drillers and OKC Dodgers (26 games, 24 starts).
