Jake Vogel, Brett de Geus Added To Player Pool
4 years agoLos Angeles Dodgers outfielder Jake Vogel and right-handed pitcher Brett De Geus were added to the summer camp player pool on Thursday. de Geus was a spring training non-roster invitee, while Vogel, just 18 years old, was the team's third-round pick in June out of Huntington Beach High School. The Dodgers are adding Vogel to the roster strictly for development purposes, as he has virtually no shot at playing in the big leagues straight out of high school. The 5-foot-11, 165-pounder was one of the fastest players in this year's draft class, and he also has a simple swing from the right side of the plate. Vogel could develop some more pop despite his undersized frame, but speed will be his biggest asset if he becomes a regular at the big league level.
