Player Outlook
Zyhir Hope may have been overhyped heading into 2025, but regardless, he's going to be ranked lower on many prospect rankings after a fine season at High-A and a week's worth of games to close the year at Double-A. The 5-foot-10, 193-pound lefty hitter slashed .266/.376/.428 with 13 home runs, 27 steals, a 14.5 percent walk rate and a 26.3 percent strikeout rate in 127 games. His 68.3 percent contact rate and 13.1 percent swinging-strike rate are troubling marks, particularly in a system loaded with talented outfield prospects. Hope is also less likely to stick in center field than org. mates Eduardo Quintero and Mike Sirota, which puts more pressure on his bat. Good but not great outfield prospects like Hope who bat lefty typically get platooned early in the majors, and his .693 OPS against southpaws last year confirms that likelihood. He's more athletic than he looks, as he's got a thicker frame, but Hope's above-average speed could trend down in his mid-20s, and it's his long-term power that's most alluring in fantasy, despite the fact his speed was more apparent in 2025.

Fantasy News

  • Dodgers' Zyhir Hope: Invited to big-league camp

    Hope was invited to major-league spring training, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports. Hope will open spring training with the big-league club for a second straight season. As one of LA's top prospects, he spent 121 games at High-A Great Lakes a season ago but finished out the 2025 campaign at Double-A Tulsa (six games). It would make sense for the 21-year-old to open the 2026 season at Double-A after gaining valuable experience against big-league arms to start camp.

  • Dodgers' Zyhir Hope: Advancing to Double-A

    The Dodgers promoted Hope from High-A Great Lakes to Double-A Tulsa on Monday, Jonathan Mayo of MLB.com reports. Hope will be joined in Tulsa by one of the Dodgers' other top prospects in outfielder Josue De Paula, who will also get bumped up from High-A. Over 524 plate appearances this season with Great Lakes, the 20-year-old Hope slashed .264/.377/.428 with 13 home runs, 26 stolen bases, a 14.9 percent walk rate and a 26.5 percent strikeout rate.

  • Dodgers' Zyhir Hope: Strong start at High-A

    Hope is slashing .272/.359/.485 with four home runs, four steals and a 25.4 percent strikeout rate in 27 games for High-A Great Lakes. As the weather heats up in the Midwest League and he gets more acclimated to High-A pitching, Hope's numbers could tick up even further, but it's been a great start to the year for the Dodgers' top prospect. Hope produced at a similar pace last year at Single-A (.287 average, nine homers, eight steals) but was limited to 54 games due to a shoulder injury.

  • Dodgers' Zyhir Hope: Sent to minor-league camp

    Hope was reassigned to minor-league camp by the Dodgers on Sunday. Hope went 4-for-19 with a home run, three RBI, a run scored and a walk while striking out six times over 10 games during spring training. The 20-year-old has yet to play at a level higher than Single-A, and he'll look to continue his ascent through the minors with the Dodgers organization in 2025.

  • Dodgers' Zyhir Hope: Impressing early in camp

    Hope went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Saturday's Cactus League loss to Kansas City. Hope belted a solo shot to the opposite field in the sixth inning. The power display came two days after the 19-year-old made a pair of impressive catches in the outfield in the Dodgers' spring opener. Hope isn't a candidate to break camp with the big club, but he's among the team's top prospects after posting a .905 OPS with nine home runs and eight stolen bases over 54 games at the Single-A level last season.

  • Dodgers' Zyhir Hope: Healthy again at Single-A

    Single-A Rancho Cucamonga reinstated Hope (shoulder) from the 7-day injured list Friday. He's gone 5-for-12 with a home run, a walk, a stolen base, five RBI and three runs in three games since returning to action. Hope had been on the shelf since April 30 with a shoulder injury. The 19-year-old outfielder received the green light to rejoin Rancho Cucamonga last weekend after he completed a seven-game rehab assignment in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League, during which he slashed .316/.458/.421.
