March 5, 2015
No. 1 prospect, Corey Seager

No. 2 prospect, Julio Urias
The most intriguing prospect in all of baseball, 18-year-old Julio Urias, ranks second among Dodgers prospects heading into 2015. He'll be in Double-A to open the year but he'll be in Los Angeles very soon, perhaps even this season.

No. 3 prospect, Joc Pederson
After a pair of stellar minor league seasons, including the first 30-30 year in the Pacific Coast League in 80 years, Joc Pederson ranks third on our Dodgers prospect list for 2015, and could end up the starting center fielder in LA on opening day.

February 12, 2015
No. 4 prospect, Grant Holmes
High school right-hander Grant Holmes was drafted by the Dodgers in the first round of the 2014 draft, and thrust himself near the very top of a top-heavy farm system. Holmes is our fourth-ranked Dodgers prospect for 2015.
-
February 4, 2015
No. 20 prospect, Joe Wieland
Acquired from the Padres in December in the Matt Kemp trade, right-handed pitcher Joe Wieland provides the Dodgers with depth for the starting rotation, and someone with options who can be stashed in Triple-A.
-
February 2, 2015
No. 5 prospect, Chris Reed
After nearly three full years in Double-A, left-handed pitcher Chris Reed made his way to Triple-A to end 2014. The 2011 first-round pick faces a big year in 2015, determining whether his future is as a starter or reliever.
-
January 28, 2015
No. 6 prospect, Scott Schebler

No. 7 prospect, Zach Lee

No. 9 prospect, Alex Verdugo
Alex Verdugo, the two-way player selected by the Dodgers in the second round of the 2014 draft, has enjoyed success as a position player as a professional. The outfielder ranks ninth in our list of top Dodgers prospects in 2015.
-
January 14, 2015
No. 10 prospect, Ross Stripling
Dodgers pitcher Ross Stripling missed all of 2014 after Tommy John surgery, but his upside remains appealing heading into 2015, either as a starter or in relief. Stripling checks in as our No. 10 Dodgers prospect for 2015.
-
January 9, 2015
No. 11 prospect, Austin Barnes

-
January 6, 2015
No. 12 prospect, Pedro Baez
Former third baseman turned pitcher Pedro Baez made his major league debut in 2014 with the Dodgers, and maintains rookie status heading into 2015. Baez is our 12th-ranked prospect in the organization this year.
