In my three previous years of covering the Dodgers’ farm system for True Blue LA, I have never had a game quite like Monday night where so many top prospects stood out with their performance. From Dennis Santana on the mound to Keibert Ruiz and DJ Peters at the plate, I saw several players perform at or near their best in offering glimpses of their future potential.
Monday’s star of the show, Santana frustrated the Midland Rockhound bats for four plus innings, striking out 10 on just 73 pitches. The Santana I saw was much improved over the fatigued pitcher I watched in the middle of last season.
