Alex De Jesus

Signed for $500,000 out of the Dominican Republic as part of the Dodgers' July 2, 2018 international signing class, De Jesus got his feet wet in the Dominican Summer League (129 wRC+) and then came stateside to spend the bulk of his debut season in the AZL. His top tool is plus power. As he fills out his 6-foot-2, 175-pound frame, he could develop plus-plus raw power. He is a below-average runner and projects to slow down in the coming years, so while he primarily played shortstop in 2019, he is destined for third base long term. De Jesus does not turn 18 until March, so his 32.6 K% and 93 wRC+ in the AZL should not be seen as a disappointment, but his strikeout rate will be worth tracking as he moves up the ladder. His 26.9 LD% and 38.5 GB% in the AZL were excellent, and hint at the potential for an above-average hit tool if he can cut down on the swing and miss.
