The Dodgers have to feel excited about the future with Diego Cartaya. He’ll turn 21 this September, and he’s already one of the most well-polished hitters in the minor leagues. Since he was signed out of Venezuela for $2.5 million in 2018, scouts have praised his poise in the box.
But since they got him at such a young age, there was no telling how his power would pan out as a professional. But the Dodgers have encouraged him to utilize the pull side in the box, and that has paid dividends.
Even Cartaya was surprised with how his power numbers have been this season.
