Although the 2020 MLB Draft was drastically shortened, Los Angeles Dodgers vice president of amateur scouting Billy Gasparino spoke highly of the crop of pitching talent that was going to be available throughout the five rounds.
The Dodgers wound up capitalizing on that, using four of six draft picks on a collegiate pitcher, including doing so with their first three selections. The Dodgers’ final draft pick was used on Gavin Stone in the fifth round at No. 159 overall.
“We’re fired up. We just got a lot of velocity, a lot of pure stuff. It’s big, it’s right handed,” Gasparino said of the Dodgers’ haul of pitchers.
