"Dodgers Dugout Live: was a guest on the podcast and he spoke about tweaking his mechanics and lifting like crazy during rehab. He doesn't really look like the lead picture above anymore as a result. Specifically, Ryan mentioned that he's sitting 98-100 MPH in live at-bats now (would be up 2-3 ticks) and that he added a new pitch that he says gives him seven. Said pitch will remain a secret until he presumably busts it out in Spring Training, so that's something to watch for."
"Prospect Savant: An all-encompassing profile of Paul Gervase, along with an interview, about his unique stuff and how the Dodgers approached his development. Pure empowerment. Upon arrival, he was told, "We traded for you because we like how good you are. Now do what you do." While everybody envisions player development as some kind of complicated mad scientist formula, a lot of the time it's simply a team getting a player they like and telling him to do more of the thing they do best."
"Ching-Hsien Ko was a notable signing in the 2024 IFA class, securing a comfortable $650,000 bonus from the Dodgers. Both on the surface and in the underlying metrics, Ko's slugging upside is palpable. At 6'3″ and 215 lb, the 19-year-old flashed encouraging power in the complex league. Although his Lo-A ISO sat at a paltry 0.061, Ko maintained an excellent 17.0 BB% on the season thanks to his ability to lay off outside pitches."
Coverage centers on Dodgers prospects and general baseball rather than the big-league club. Ryan reported mechanical tweaks, intensive lifting during rehab, a fastball sitting 98–100 mph in live at-bats, and an added secret pitch expected to debut in Spring Training. Paul Gervase features unique stuff and a development approach that emphasized empowering him to do what he does best. Ching-Hsien Ko earned recognition as the Dodgers' breakout hitting prospect for 2026 after a $650,000 2024 IFA signing, showing encouraging power, a strong 17.0% walk rate, 23.3% whiff rate, and substantial physical projection. Christian Zazueta received a prospect nod on the mound.
