Dalton Rushing, the Los Angeles Dodgers' second overall prospect, left a Triple-A game after taking a foul ball to his catcher's mask. Although he briefly remained on the ground, he returned to the game momentarily before being pinch-hit. At 24 years old, Rushing, primarily a catcher, is seen as a future asset for the Dodgers but currently faces competition from other catchers. He expressed eagerness to help the team in any way possible, emphasizing his desire to support current catcher Will Smith.
Rushing, 24, is the Dodgers' No. 2 overall prospect on MLB Pipeline behind Roki Sasaki and the No. 1 hitting prospect.
Last year, the Dodgers started using Rushing in the outfield in the hopes of finding him a path to the big leagues there.
Rushing told Dodgers Nation that he would be open to any position on this team, but would love to be a catcher in this organization down the road.
From a catching perspective, my job is to step in and make Will's job easier.
