Mike Sirota is making some serious noise in the Dodgers' farm system. The High-A Great Lakes outfielder was named the Midwest League Player of the Week for April 27 through May 3, and his performance was nothing short of spectacular. Facing the Peoria Chiefs, Sirota went on an absolute tear, hitting .533/.682/1.467 across five games. He collected eight hits in 15 at-bats, including four home runs, two doubles, and six walks. He also added a hit-by-pitch, scored eight runs, and drove in seven RBI.
The highlight of his week came in a doubleheader last Thursday, where he launched three homers in two games. But he wasn't done yet—he added an inside-the-park home run on Saturday. That kind of power-speed combo is exactly what gets scouts and fans excited.
Now 23 years old (he turns 23 on June 16), Sirota is the elder statesman among the Dodgers' top outfield prospects. Last season, his first taste of High-A was cut short by a knee injury after just 35 games. This year, he's back with Great Lakes and absolutely raking. Through 24 games, he's slashing .329/.481/.684 with six homers, nine doubles, a triple, and a jaw-dropping 192 wRC+. It's clear he's ready for the next challenge.
That next step likely means a promotion to Double-A Tulsa, where the outfield is already loaded with 21-year-old talents like Josue De Paula, Zyhir Hope, and Kendall George. Good thing the designated hitter exists, because there's going to be a logjam of elite outfield bats in the Dodgers' system.
Elsewhere in the organization, the Arizona Complex League season kicked off on Saturday, bringing a few notable names to Camelback Ranch. Right-handed pitcher Oliver Gonzalez, acquired from the St. Louis Cardinals in the 2024 Tommy Edman/Michael Kopech three-team trade, started the season on the injured list. Despite the setback, FanGraphs ranked him as the 18th-best prospect in the Dodgers system back in December.
Infielder Reyli Mariano also began the season on the IL. He was ranked 26th by FanGraphs. Catcher Eduardo Rojas, signed out of Venezuela in 2024, came in at 35th. And infielder Aidan West, the Dodgers' fourth-round draft pick last year who signed for an above-slot $1.275 million bonus, was ranked 19th by Baseball America and 20th by FanGraphs.
With Sirota heating up and a wave of young talent waiting in the wings, the Dodgers' pipeline is as deep as ever. Keep an eye on these names—they might just be wearing your favorite team's gear sooner than you think.
