2 years agoLos Angeles Dodgers outfield prospect Andy Pages, signed out of Cuba in 2018, is off to a red-hot start this season, posting career-bests in both walk and strikeout rates. Historically a power player with plenty of strikeouts to go along with high home run totals, Pages has demonstrated an ability to focus on his plate discipline and drive in runs so far this season. It's unclear whether this approach is intentional and here to stay, but at the very least, it's a sign of immense promise for the young outfielder. Pages uses great bat speed and leverage to launch baseballs out of the park, but as mentioned, his aggressive approach can lead to strikeouts. In the outfield, he has average speed but still gets a quick jump on balls hit toward him. He takes great angles and tracks balls with ease, demonstrating his baseball IQ before showing off his elite arm strength. He certainly has the strong-arm, powerful-bat makeup of a stereotypical right fielder. Pages showed up big in the box scores this past week, hitting 8-for-18 with two doubles, two homers, and 10 RBI. He also drew a whopping eight walks while striking out four times. His most impressive game came on April 14 when he went 3-for-4 with a double and two homers. Currently 22 years old in Double-A, Pages should reach Triple-A this year with a chance to make his MLB debut in 2024. When he does, he might just have instant fantasy appeal.--Andersen Pickard - RotoBaller
