Zyhir Hope is officially on a hot streak.
The Dodgers’ No. 2 prospect (MLB No. 24) blasted a grand slam on Sunday for Double-A Tulsa, helping power a 7-2 win over Springfield. The big fly was Hope’s second career grand slam and his second home run of the young 2026 campaign, with his first coming just one day earlier on Saturday.
Hope showed off his gaudy 60-grade power with Sunday’s fourth-inning shot, taking a pitch on the outer portion of the plate and sending it way out to the opposite field at 101 mph.
The outfielder tacked on a ground-ball single in the ninth for his first multi-hit game of 2026. He has now recorded a hit in all eight games to begin the Drillers’ season, resulting in a .265/.297/.500 slash line.
Hope, whom the Dodgers acquired in the Michael Busch trade with the Cubs, worked in his second Major League Spring Training this year, hitting just .184 with 13 strikeouts to three walks. But with long balls in back-to-back games and his hitting streak, he now looks like he’s reminding everyone why he owns a career .840 OPS in the Minor Leagues.
