No. 2 prospect Verdugo making MLB debut

Joc Pederson finished sixth in National League Rookie of the Year Award voting two years ago, Corey Seager won the award last year, Cody Bellinger is the clear favorite this year and the Dodgers are taking the wraps off their candidate for next year when they start Alex Verdugo in the outfield for his Major League debut Friday night. Verdugo is ranked by MLBPipeline.com as the Dodgers’ No. 2 prospect and is No. 28 on the Top 100 Prospects list.
