Andrew Sopko, Edwin Rios highlight thin Double-A talent

Despite a deep and talent farm system, the Dodgers have something of a prospect gap currently at their Double-A affiliate in Tulsa. While the promotion of Walker Buehler and the return of Josh Sborz from injury give the rotation a talent shot, the Drillers lineup is especially thin on major-league-quality hitting. I took in the Tuesday evening start of Andrew Sopko, and though it was not his best outing, both he and Edwin Rios stood out as having the greatest professional futures.

Sopko’s velocity was down on this cooler Tuesday evening, which isn’t as alarming as it could be made to be.
