Lucas Wepf Moving Up To Double-A
Los Angeles Dodgers pitching prospect Lucas Wepf is being promoted to Double-A Tulsa. The 24-year-old right-hander has spent the past 54 innings with High-A Great Lakes. Last summer, he held a 4.68 ERA, 1.36 ERA, and a 14:30 BB:K ratio with just one save. However, this season Wepf has looked much sharper with a 1.84 ERA, 0.75 WHIP, 10:44 BB:K ratio, and eight saves. In addition, he has allowed just one earned run and three hits in his past 12 innings with three saves. The young right-hander should be expected to continue to see time in high-leverage opportunities in Double-A. Wepf currently sits outside of the top 30 prospects in the Dodger system on MLB Pipeline but could join this list later this summer if he carries this momentum into Double-A.
