The Dodgers will be represented in the the 2025 All-Star Futures Game in Atlanta by their top two prospects — Josue De Paula (№1 Dodger prospect per MLB Pipeline) and Zyhir Hope (№2).
De Paula’s 10 homers through June are tied for fifth in the Midwest League for High-A Great Lakes. He also ranks in the Midwest League’s top 10 in runs (tied for first, 53), walks (second, 59), on-base percentage (fifth, .409), total bases (tied for seventh, 112) and OPS (10th, .852).
The 20-year-old outfielder is batting .269/.409/.443/.852 in his fourth year in the organization.
