Dodgers prospect Sirota's hot streak feels like it's out of a Hollywood script

Perhaps the only thing that rivals the Dodgers' deep and abiding talent base is the organization's proficiency at finding, developing and incorporating more of it.
Mike Sirota appears to be yet another shining gem in an organization teeming with them.
A week after homering three times in a doubleheader, Los Angeles' No. 4 prospect was racking up more big hits during another High-A Great Lakes double dip. Sirota went deep and drove in a season-high four runs on three hits in the first game and reached base seven times across both contests against Lake County on Thursday at Classic Auto Group Park.
The 22-year-old was a one-man wrecking crew for the Loons in a wild, eventual 15-13 loss in the opener. MLB's No. 50 prospect walked and swiped a base in the first frame, singled home a run in the third and clubbed a three-run jack to left-center field in the fourth. It was the seventh roundtripper of the season for Sirota and his fifth in six games, going back to his trifecta of taters on April 30.
The Northeastern product walked again and scored by swiping home on a double steal in the sixth before capping his performance with a sharp double to left in the seventh.
Although he was held out of the hit column during Great Lakes' 7-2 win in the nightcap, he walked two more times, scored a pair of runs and swiped his third bag of the day. Sirota ended the day slashing .344/.508/.711 with 18 extra-base hits, 31 runs and 19 RBIs in 27 games.
His 1.219 OPS is second-best among all full-season Minor Leaguers, trailing only Double-A Amarillo's Danny Serretti (AZ), who sports a 1.247 mark across two levels.
The scariest part for opposing Midwest League hurlers might be that performances like this are becoming the norm for Sirota. Since opening 2026 with one hit in 17 at-bats, the 2024 third-rounder has reached safely in 22 consecutive games, collecting at least one hit in 20 of them.
Sirota's production over that span is at the very upper echelon of Minor Leaguers at any level. The Mineola, N.Y., native is slashing .411/.561/.863 with all of his extra-base hits, all of his RBIs and a K/BB ratio of 17/22 in those games, firmly cementing him as one of the early stars of the 2026 campaign.
