The high-profile prospect in the Dodgers’ trade with Cincinnati this offseason is Jeter Downs. Downs bolsters a middle infield depth chart that has been restocked fairly quickly the past few years. Downs, a former compensation first round pick, is a toolsy athlete that shows promise with the bat and could provide decent pop at an up-the-middle position down the road, but will need further refinement with his swing and approach.
Downs is an excellent athlete that tested out well as a draft prospect, running a sub 6.5 second 60-yard-dash and flashing low 90s velocity across the diamond.
