"Ferris, a 22-year-old who was taken in the second round by the Chicago Cubs, has been a quickly emerging prospect with the Dodgers. He came over via the Michael Busch trade, which sent the infielder to the Cubs, along with reliever Yency Almonte, in exchange for prospects Zyhir Hope and Ferris. While Ferris and Hope have not made the major league roster yet, both are considered top prospects, while Busch has thrived in Chicago in a trade that looks like a true win-win."
"Now 22 and with a solid season of Double-A baseball under his belt, Ferris is hoping to finally break through a crowded position within the Dodgers organization. Los Angeles has great pitching depth on the whole, with star arms that have experience at the top, and young, promising pitchers waiting in the wings for opportunity. Ferris is one of those names who are on the bubble and could be next in line to step up during the long regular season."
"It's just trying to like force their hand kind of thing, just go out there and do what I can do, just kind of be the best that I can be and hopefully at the end of the day, like this year could be the year, but like who knows, just go out there and do what I can do,"
Jackson Ferris is a 22-year-old left-handed pitching prospect who joined the Dodgers in the Michael Busch trade that sent Michael Busch and reliever Yency Almonte to the Cubs in exchange for Zyhir Hope and Ferris. Ferris was a second-round pick by the Cubs and has emerged quickly after a solid Double-A season. Los Angeles' deep pitching depth leaves Ferris competing for a 40-man roster spot and places him on the bubble among young arms. Ferris will start the Dodgers' second Cactus League game against the San Diego Padres and aims to force promotion by performing and refining specific pitches.
