Dodgers prospect Miguel Vargas made a huge splash in the minor leagues last year, batting .304/.404/.511 in 520 Triple-A plate appearances. His brief time in the big leagues wasn’t nearly as impressive, but that hasn’t dampened the enthusiasm scout experts have for the 23-year-old Cuban.
Keith Law of The Athletic put out his Top 100 Prospects list on Monday, and Vargas came in at number 23, up 39 spots from last year. Law is, of course, high on Vargas’s bat, but he’s also impressed with his improved athleticism and defense.
