PROSPECT: Gavin Stone, SP, Los Angeles Dodgers
ANALYSIS: It hasn't quite been as dominant of a showing here in 2023 as it was in 2022 for Gavin Stone, but the 24-year-old right-hander is coming off his best outing of the 2023 season on Saturday with seven strikeouts over five scoreless innings.
Stone was arguably the most impressive pitcher in the entire minor leagues last season. That performance, along with his #3 starter upside, helped Stone vault into top 10 pitching prospect territory in prospect rankings this offseason.
VERDICT: Unfortunately for Stone, Tony Gonsolin returns this week. We've gotten to the point where it definitely appears that Stone will be the next man up when the Dodgers need an arm. It could be soon given the durability issues this rotation has.
