The article provides insights into the development processes of Dodgers prospects Dalton Rushing and James Outman. Rushing faces challenges as he must conduct meetings with experienced players to guide pitching strategies effectively. His training emphasizes defensive skills, game planning, and communication. Meanwhile, Outman seeks to refine his swing mechanics after off-season adjustments at Maven Baseball Lab to enhance his connection between the upper and lower body during swings. The narrative illustrates the rigorous demands placed on players before the season begins.
