"When the Dodgers selected Kellon Lindsey in the first round of the 2024 draft, club officials and evaluators were interested to see how the two sport star would adjust to baseball full time. Unfortunately the look was brief as the infielder suffered a shoulder impingement that cost him most of the season. Now fully healthy, he's showing the Dodgers exactly what they want to see."
"Lindsey's season started with a rehab assignment, where he homered twice in a handful of games in Arizona. He joined Ontario last week and picked up where he left off, tripling in his debut, then doubling and homering in his second game. Overall he batted .500 last week with five extra base hits in four games. He also showed off his top of the line speed with the triple and a stolen base."
"Ayon has the size and velocity that scouts love. His fastball has touched triple digits and he sits comfortably in the mid to upper 90s. His slider is his bread and butter, a pitch he'll throw to any hitter in any count. That's led to 35 strikeouts in 27.1 IP this year, capped off by the best start of his career last Wednesday, when he struck out 10 batters in 5 innings while allowing just a single baserunner. That performance earned him California League Pitcher of the Week honors."
Kellon Lindsey, a Dodgers first-round 2024 draft pick, missed most of the season with a shoulder impingement. Fully healthy, he began with a rehab assignment in Arizona, homering twice in a few games. He then joined Ontario and produced immediate results, including a triple in his debut, followed by a double and a home run in his second game. He hit .500 over four games last week with five extra-base hits and displayed elite speed with a triple and a stolen base. Isaac Ayon, drafted in the 18th round after not pitching for two years, returned with velocity and a slider that generates strikeouts. He has 35 strikeouts in 27.1 innings, including a career-best start with 10 strikeouts in five innings and California League Pitcher of the Week honors.
