The Dodgers used their 20th-round pick to select former Clemson and now Oregon State quarterback DJ Uiagalelei with the 610th overall pick in the MLB Draft
Uiagalelei was the No. 500 prospect on Perfect Game coming out of high school, but has not played college baseball. On his profile, he is listed as a right-handed pitcher as well as a first and third baseman and an outfielder. Uiagelelei was drafted as a pitcher and is listed as a potential two-way player.
Initially Trevor Lawrences’ heir to the Clemson Tiger dynasty, Uiagelelei showed promise when he stepped in for the injured Lawrence for a few games in 2020.
