LOS ANGELES -- For many of the early rounds of the 2026 Draft, all the Dodgers could do was sit back and watch as players were taken off the board.

As a penalty for signing their two big offseason acquisitions -- closer Edwin Díaz and right fielder Kyle Tucker -- the Dodgers lost their second-, third-, fifth- and sixth-round selections in this year's Draft, while also having the smallest bonus pool. That meant they had just two picks on Day 1 on Saturday and 14 on Day 2 on Sunday.

"Normally, when we were preparing the night of the Draft, we're talking a lot of strategy and bonus pool and manipulation and those types of things to try to optimize," amateur scouting director Zach Fitzpatrick said on a Zoom call with the media on Saturday. "And we kind of were staring at each other last night, like, is there any strategy, or just take the best players?"

The Dodgers came out of Day 1 feeling good. Their "main target," according to Fitzpatrick, was their top overall pick at No. 40, shortstop Bo Lowrance out of Christ Church Episcopal HS (S.C.). He was who the organization had been hoping for while weighing what it could do with its first two picks.

"Hoping Bo got there," Fitzpatrick said of the team's Draft strategy. "But if not, just kind of taking the best player available. We stuck to that. And now trying to maximize what we can do, post-Bo."

To that end, the Dodgers closed out Day 1 by selecting right-hander Russell Sandefer with the No. 132 pick in the fourth round. Sandefer, who was selected out of the University of Florida, posted a 4.42 ERA across 19 outings (12 starts) this season. He was ranked by MLB Pipeline as the No. 177 prospect in the Draft.

Sandefer saw his fastball velocity tick up this past season, sitting around 93 mph and touching 98 mph. His pitch mix features a slider and a changeup, which both sit in the low-80s, and he also mixes in a cutter at times. He showed some inconsistency during the college season, but the Dodgers' scouting department -- as well as player development and analytics groups -- saw a lot of reason for intrigue.

"He was a starter at Florida, threw a lot of strikes," Fitzpatrick said. "There's obviously velocity. There's a deep mix, and he performed and had some pretty stellar outings along the way that helped us believe in his upside and different ways we can help him access it more consistently."
