Organization Prospect Rankings

• 
  Ranked Los Angeles Dodgers #3 prospect in 2024
  BA Grade: 55/High
  
  Track Record: Pages signed with the Dodgers for $300,000 out of Cuba and immediately asserted himself as one of the top power hitters in the minor leagues. He blasted 19 home runs in 63 games as an 18-year-old for Rookie-level Ogden in 2019. He won the 2021 Midwest League MVP award after hitting a Great Lakes franchise-record 31 home runs and finished third in the Texas League with 26 home runs for Double-A Tulsa in 2022. Pages earned a quick promotion to Triple-A Oklahoma City in 2023 and was nearing his first big league callup, but he tore his labrum in his left shoulder on a swing May 16 and had season-ending surgery.
  
  Scouting Report: Previously a heavyset slugger, Pages dropped 25 pounds going into last season and improved his athleticism without losing any power. He generates plus power with a fast, uphill swing and sends towering fly balls out to all fields. He frequently clears scoreboards and can hit balls out of any stadium. Pages pulverizes pitches low in the zone, but his swing path creates a hole above his belt that leaves him vulnerable to swings and misses. He is a cerebral hitter who controls the strike zone and makes enough contact to be a below-average hitter even with that vulnerability. He’s particularly strong in clutch situations. Pages ticked up to a fringe-average runner after losing weight and gets good jumps in the outfield. He is an average defender in right field and can play center in a pinch, although he struggles with focus at times. He has plus-plus arm strength but inconsistent accuracy.
  
  The Future: Pages’ power and approach give him a chance to be a low-average, high on-base percentage slugger. He began hitting again in mid October and is on track to be fully ready in time for spring training.

  Ranked Los Angeles Dodgers #7 prospect in 2023
  BA Grade/Risk: 50/High
  
  Track Record: Pages starred as one of the top hitters in Cuba's junior leagues and signed with the Dodgers for $300,000 after he left the country. He promptly finished among the league leaders in home runs in the Dominican Summer League and Rookie-level Pioneer League in his first two seasons and led the Midwest League with 31 homers in 2021, earning the league's MVP award. Pages moved to Double-A Tulsa in 2022 and continued his power binge with 26 home runs, third-most in the Texas League, but he also hit a career-low .236. He earned a measure of redemption by tying for second in the Arizona Fall League with five home runs.
  
  Scouting Report: Pages possesses enormous power that is the best in the Dodgers' system. His fast bat speed, immense strength and uphill swing path combine to produce towering home runs that leave all parts of the stadium and clear scoreboards. Pages has a knack for delivering big home runs in clutch situations and gets to his power enough to project 30 homers annually. Pages is a cerebral hitter, but his uphill swing path leaves him vulnerable to elevated fastballs and he is prone to chasing sliders off the plate. He is learning to lay off pitches he can't drive but has holes that will limit him to a below-average hitter. Pages has gotten heavier as he's aged and is now a well below-average runner with a thick lower half. He gets good jumps in right field and has improved his focus to be an average defender, but he'll have to monitor his conditioning to make sure he doesn't get much bigger and lose mobility. He has plus-plus arm strength and has improved his throwing accuracy to make his arm a game-changing weapon.
  
  The Future: Pages' youth and power give him a chance to be a low-average slugger who hits just enough to play every day. He'll head to Triple-A in 2023 and could make his major league debut during the year.

  Ranked Los Angeles Dodgers #6 prospect in 2022
  Track Record: Pages starred in Cuba’s junior leagues as an amateur and signed with the Dodgers for $300,000 in 2018. He broke out in the Rookie-level Pioneer League the following year and was set to be traded to the Angels in a Feb. 2020 deal before Angels owner Arte Moreno canceled the trade. It turned out to be a fortuitous development for the Dodgers. Pages made his full-season debut with High-A Great Lakes in 2021 and hit a franchise-record 31 home runs, most in High-A Central. He also led the league runs (96), slugging percentage (.539) and OPS (.933) and was named MVP.
  
  Scouting Report: Few prospects hit the ball in the air as hard and as far as Pages. His bat speed, strength and uphill swing path combine to produce towering home runs that clear scoreboards and leave all parts of the stadium. Pages destroys pitches below the waist, but his swing path makes him vulnerable to elevated fastballs. He is a cerebral hitter who has shown the ability to adjust, providing optimism he’ll make enough contact to be a fringe-average hitter. He keeps his strikeouts reasonable for a power hitter and walks plenty to maintain high on-base percentages. Pages is a below-average runner who struggles with his weight at times. He runs into outs with poor decision-making on the basepaths and is an inconsistent defender in right field who is easily distracted. When focused, he’s an average defender with a plus-plus, albeit inaccurate, arm.
  
  The Future: Pages has the potential to be an everyday, power-hitting corner outfielder, but he has lots of areas to improve. He’ll see Double-A in 2022.
  
• 
  Ranked Los Angeles Dodgers #11 prospect in 2021
  Hitting: 45. Power: 60. Running: 55. Fielding: 50. Arm: 70.
  
  TRACK RECORD: Pages was one of the top hitters in Cuba’s junior leagues growing up and signed with the Dodgers for $300,000 when he was 17. He struggled in his first pro season but blossomed in year two when he finished second in the Rookie-level Pioneer League in home runs (19) and total bases (153). He was not brought to the alternate training site in 2020 but stood out for his tools in instructional league.
  
  SCOUTING REPORT: Pages combines impressive physical ability with a high-level understanding of hitting. He recognizes pitches, has excellent hand-eye coordination and possesses plus power that produces some of the top exit velocities in the Dodgers’ system. He drives the ball hard to center and right field and makes loud contact that stays with observers for weeks. Pages can be overly aggressive and will swing and miss against higher-quality pitches, but he makes adjustments and should improve with experience. He is an intuitive baserunner whose excellent reads and jumps make up for fringe-average speed. Pages has learned to tone down his flair in right field and become a reliable, above-average defender with a plus-plus, albeit sometimes inaccurate, arm.
  
  THE FUTURE: Pages has the makings of an everyday right fielder if he can make enough contact. He is set to make his full-season debut in 2021.
• 
  Ranked Los Angeles Dodgers #22 prospect in 2020
  TRACK RECORD: Pages was one of top hitters in his age group in Cuba and signed with the Dodgers for $300,000 late in the 2017-18 international signing period. After struggling to hit in his debut season, Pages leaped forward in year two and finished second in the Rookie-level Pioneer League in home runs (19) and total bases (153).
  
  SCOUTING REPORT: Pages is a strong, athletic hitter with a wild streak that calls to mind Yasiel Puig. He has the strength, bat speed and feel for the barrel to generate a swing path built for future plus power, and he has the hand-eye coordination to keep his strikeouts reasonable and be at least an average hitter. Pages moves well for his size with average speed and has played center field, but he projects best in right field where he can show off his plus-plus cannon for an arm. Pages plays with flair and at times tries to do too much, leading to overswinging at the plate. His effort is inconsistent on defense and the basepaths.
  
  THE FUTURE: Pages' prodigious talent is widely apparent. His focus and maturity will be tested at low Class A Great Lakes in 2020.

Minor League Top Prospects

• 
  Ranked Midwest League #5 prospect in 2021
  The Dodgers’ top two prospects in High-A Central both hail from Cuba. While Miguel Vargas moved to Double-A in June, Pages, who is a year younger, continued to dominate High-A. “(Pages) is a guy you want in your clubhouse,” a scout said. “He’s a fiercely loyal teammate and doesn’t like to lose.” “Pages can flat-out hit,” another scout added. “At first glance, he doesn’t look like he should hit with the power he does (he led the league with 31 home runs), but if Andy finds out you doubt him in anything, he’ll work to prove you wrong.” Pages’ route-running and instincts could help him stick in center field, but his plus-plus arm could be an asset in right. “He can shut down a team running on him quite a bit,” an opposing High-A Central manager said. “I think he’s one of the better prospects in the league. I’m definitely impressed with him.”
• 
  Ranked Pioneer League #2 prospect in 2019
  No Pioneer League player took as big of a jump forward as Pages, who signed with the Dodgers late in the 2017-18 international singing period for $300,000. Pages has a strong build with feel to hit and an athletic swing path built for future plus power. He was one of the top power hitters in the Pioneer League with 19 home runs and a .353 isolated slugging percentage. That power came with a 28 percent strikeout rate, but it’s not alarming considering Pages’ age and experience level. He is at least an average runner and goes hard on the bases. "He’s a really smart player,” Ogden manager Austin Chubb said. "At the age of 18, to be able to game plan . . . (he’s) pretty baseball savvy.” Pages fits best defensively in right field, with a plus arm being his best tool. He plays with plenty of flair and emotion.
