Joendry Vargas

18-Year-Old ShortstopSS
Los Angeles Dodgers
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Vargas signed with the Dodgers for $2.08 million last winter as the headliner of their Jan. 15 international signing class. The righty hitter lived up to his billing, slashing .328/.423/.529 with seven home runs, a 14.4 percent walk rate and a 14.9 percent strikeout rate in 48 Dominican Summer League games. He played the majority of his games at shortstop, but the expectation is that the 6-foot-4, 175-pound infielder will eventually end up as a full-time third baseman. Just a fringe-average runner, Vargas doesn't have five-category appeal, but he could still develop into a top-25 prospect. He should split his age-18 season between the Arizona Complex League and Single-A. Read Past Outlooks

Vargas is slashing .328/.428/.529 with five home runs, 12 steals and as many walks as strikeouts (22:22) through 33 games in the Dominican Summer League.
ANALYSIS
The 6-foot-4 infielder has seen the majority of his starts at shortstop while also getting work at third base and second base. Vargas signed with the Dodgers for $2.08 million as the headliner of their Jan. 15 international signing class this year. He has a projectable frame and has a chance to keep adding power while maintaining his athleticism.
