Los Angeles Dodgers top prospect Dalton Rushing faced Cy Young Award winner Jacob deGrom in Tuesday’s Triple-A matchup.
DeGrom is in the midst of his rehab assignment after the Texas Rangers ace underwent reconstructive surgery on his right UCL in 2023.
Rushing finished the game with two home runs and five RBIs against Round Rock, but deGrom posted two scoreless innings to begin the game.
Rushing had the opportunity to face one of the best in MLB with deGrom on the mound.
“It’s probably the best fastball I’ve ever seen standing in a box,” Rushing told Dodgers Nation Doug McKain.
