3 Best Dodgers Under 25

The Dodgers may be known for shelling out hundreds of millions of dollars to veteran free agents, but their success all starts with a nucleus of young talent.

Let's move the focus to the most talented of their young contributors -- of all LA's young studs, these are their best three players under 25 years old.

After making his MLB debut at 19, Urias has been inconsistent throughout his young career, but shows a ton of potential. Last season, he was finally able to have some stable success after positing a 2.49 ERA in eight starts and 37 appearances. Now, he will look to become a full time starter in the Dodgers' rotation in 2020 and take the next step in his development.

The 22-year-old will look to build off of last year's success, where he hit .347 and blasted 26 homers in the minors. Then, he got called up to the majors in September to cap off his big season. The top prospect is now penciled to start at second base for Los Angeles. He is a promising young player who will look to become a threat in the middle of the Dodgers lineup for years to come.

Even though he is only 24, Bellinger is already a star in the majors. He already has an MVP to his name, and has appeared in two All-Star Games. He's slugged over 35 home runs twice in three seasons, and hit over .300 once. The Silver Slugger award winner was also a part of the Dodgers' two recent World Series runs, and won NLCS MVP in 2018. The 2017 Rookie of the Year is well on his way to become one of the biggest stars in all of baseball. He can be considered not only the best player under 25 on his team, but likely the best in the whole MLB.
