LOS ANGELES -- Is Dodgers prospect DJ Peters the next Cody Bellinger?
Bellinger slugged 30 homers in 2015 at Class A Advanced Rancho Cucamonga to earn a Major League invite to '16 Spring Training and was the unanimous National League Rookie of the Year in '17.
Peters slugged 27 homers in 2017 with Rancho Cucamonga to earn a Major League invite to '18 Spring Training.
Bellinger is a left-handed first baseman, Peters a right-handed outfielder. The Dodgers drafted both in the fourth round and they represent the organization's increasing ability to produce the kind of home run hitters valued in today's game.
