Is there anything quite like a Dodgers outfield prospect?
The reigning back-to-back World Series champs feature five outfielders on the Top 100 Prospects list -- three of whom are ranked among MLB’s Top 10 outfielders. Twelve of their Top 30 prospects roam the grass, including each of their top four prospects. In other words, Los Angeles has a treasure trove of outfielders down on the farm.
It feels like nearly every night in the Minors one of the Dodgers’ electric young outfielders boosts an affiliate with an eye-catching performance or monster homer, and Saturday was no different.
Four Dodgers prospects left the yard across two levels, combining for seven hits, five homers and six RBIs. Here’s a deeper look at those top performers:
Eduardo Quintero, OF (LAD No. 3/MLB No. 35)
Quintero’s 34-game on-base streak was snapped in Game 1 of a doubleheader on Friday. But on Saturday, he picked back up in emphatic fashion. The former backstop mashed his third homer of the year in High-A Great Lakes’ 3-1 victory over Wisconsin at Neuroscience Group Field. The clout came on a 2-2 slider from right-hander Peyton Niksch (Brewers) and hooked just inside of the left-field foul pole.
After a sluggish start to his age-20 campaign, Quintero has found his groove since the start of May. Across his past 32 games, the Venezuela native has slashed .366/.473/.480 with 45 hits and 23 stolen bases -- the second-most in the Minors over that span.
Since debuting as a 17-year-old in 2023, Quintero has impacted every facet of the game. Last season, he showcased his five above-average tools, swiping 47 bases and hitting 19 homers.
Charles Davalan, OF (LAD No. 7/MLB No. 94)
Selected with the No. 41 pick in last July's Draft, Davalan has displayed a knack for getting on base -- and hitting homers -- in his first pro season. The former Arkansas Razorback hammered his eighth big fly for the Loons in the third, drilling a changeup from righty Jason Woodward over the wall in right.
Interestingly, Davalan has often hit homers in bunches this season. Of his eight roundtrippers, six have come via three multihomer performances.
Aside from the home runs, Davalan’s standout skill has been his keen eye at the dish. The 22-year-old has walked 37 times compared to 30 strikeouts through 56 games.

James Tibbs III, OF (LAD No. 10)
Tibbs stole headlines by swatting seven homers over the first two weeks of the 2026 season, and while his overall production has slowed since, the roundtrippers haven’t gone anywhere. The former Florida State standout hammered his 19th big fly of the season in Oklahoma City’s 11-7 win over Charlotte at Truist Field. The 106.9 mph, 391-foot mash came off southpaw Hagen Smith (CWS No. 4/MLB No. 47) and tied Tibbs for the fourth-most wallops in the Minors.
Following the 1-for-4 night, Tibbs is slashing .307/.421/.614 at Triple-A. His 1.035 OPS tops the Pacific Coast League and his 154 total bases, 37 extra-base hits and 57 RBIs each lead Dodgers Minor Leaguers.

Zach Ehrhard, OF (LAD No. 17)
Acquired from Boston alongside Tibbs in exchange for Dustin May last summer, Ehrhard has found a new gear in Los Angeles’ organization -- even more so this month. The 23-year-old belted a pair of big flies in the Comets’ win, giving him six homers in June and nine total.
Ehrhard added a single to his ledger, giving him three knocks on the night. The performance marked his sixth multihit game in the past nine contests. Through 11 June contests, he has slashed .386/.491/.841.
