"As it stands, L.A. projects to have the No. 2 offense and the top pitching staff, both in the rotation and the bullpen,"
"The Dodgers also have the oldest position player group in the majors and could stand to mix in a little youth and athleticism. Both would be accomplished if Alex Freeland and Hyeseong Kim are ready to seize larger roles."
"The Dodgers drafted Freeland in 2022, and he finally got his shot at the top level this past season. With third baseman Max Muncy on the injured list and second baseman Tommy Edman struggling with his ankle, the Dodgers called up Freeland at the end of July. He played 29 games during his stay in MLB, slashing .190/.292/.310 with two home runs and six RBIs through 84 at-bats. Though his numbers weren't exactly impressive overall, he showed he could hang in the majors towards the beginning of his time in LA. He batted .353 through his first five games, and had an OPS just short of .800 during that time."
The Los Angeles Dodgers' roster average age is 28.8 years, the third-highest in MLB and the oldest among position-player groups. The San Diego Padres (29.1) and New York Mets (28.8) rank higher in overall roster age. Projections place Los Angeles as the No. 2 offense with a top pitching staff in both rotation and bullpen. Two prospects who debuted in 2025, Alex Freeland and Hyeseong Kim, represent internal options to add youth and athleticism. Both players showed early signs of impact in limited MLB opportunities during their call-ups.
