Dalton Rushing, the top prospect of the Los Angeles Dodgers, has been called up from Triple-A to make his MLB debut as a catcher. With the departure of Austin Barnes, Rushing will primarily play as a catcher and serve as a left-handed pinch-hitter. His Triple-A performance this season has been outstanding, posting a .308 average and a .938 OPS. Rushing's call-up comes amidst injuries to key players, potentially providing the Dodgers with a much-needed boost in both offense and overall team dynamics.
Rushing is young enough to possess the tools to continue his growth and development, but has already proven so much maturity at the plate and power in his bat that he appears ready to compete at the highest level.
Roberts clarified that this will be his defensive position for the foreseeable future, not the outfield.
Rushing won't just be any ordinary lefty coming off the bench, as he has been putting up monster numbers in Triple-A this season.
Rushing will look to add to the long list of recent homegrown Dodgers to transfer their success to MLB.
