Josiah Gray Stats

Los Angeles Dodgers pitching prospect Josiah Gray didn't have the strongest start to the spring on Thursday. He was unable to record an out during his second inning of work. Facing mostly minor league hitters, the young pitcher struck out two batters in his first inning but was then chased from the game after opening the second with a home run followed by a walk. Gray is likely to open the year at the club's alternate training site and has significant depth to push through for big-league innings in 2021, including the likes of Julio Urias, Tony Gonsolin, and, Dustin May. Gray has the ceiling of a No. 3/4 starter for Los Angeles.

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Jimmy Nelson will get the start in Thursday's spring training game against the Chicago Cubs. Top prospect Josiah Gray will make his spring debut in relief. Nelson last pitched in the majors for the Milwaukee Brewers in 2019. He missed the entirety of the 2020 season after undergoing surgery on his lower back. The 23-year-old Gray is one of the team's top prospects. In 2019, he posted a 2.28 ERA and 0.992 WHIP over 130 innings spread across multiple minor league levels. Because the Dodgers are so loaded at pitcher, both players may not make the team's opening day roster.

Los Angeles Dodgers pitching prospect Josiah Gray, the team's No. 3 prospect per MLB Pipeline, was included on the team's initial player pool for the 60-game 2020 season. "I think its a balance," president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman said last week. "As deep as we are, as excited as we are about our 26-man roster, our 40-man roster and the prospects behind it, we dont have 60 guys who we feel could step in and help us win a major league game this year." Gray, a 22-year-old right-hander, is an athletic hurler who could be a No. 3 starter at the next level. He had a 2.28 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 10.2 K/9 in 25 starts at Single-A Great Lakes, High-A Rancho Cucamonga and Double-A Tulsa in 2019.
