Bear asked about this yesterday:
The Dodgers signed Sauryn Lao out of the Dominican Republic in 2016 when he was 16 years old. In his seven minor league seasons, he has played every infield position. He averaged .253 with .744 OPS over those seasons. Just when it looked like he was another “flame out” as a minor leaguer, who never got past A+ Ball, the Dodgers decided to convert him to being a pitcher. 2023 was the year that conversion begin.
He actually threw 2.2 innings at Tulsa where he was bombed for a 10.
