The Dodgers only had six rookies play for them in 2022, their lowest number in 21 years and second-lowest since World War II. And none of those six played very much — five of the six (Andre Jackson, Michael Grove, Ryan Pepiot, James Outman, and Miguel Vargas) will be rookies again in 2023, and the sixth (Jake Reed) exceeded the rookie limits in 2022 but pitched just 4.2 innings for Los Angeles.

L.A. figures to use more rookies in 2023, as all five of the returning rookies figure to get playing time, plus Bobby Miller, Gavin Stone, and Michael Busch, with possibilities for guys like Jacob Amaya, Jonny DeLuca, and Andy Pages and probably a reliever or two who isn’t currently on our radar like Nick Robertson or Nick Frasso or Nick Nastrini.
