| Summary: The Dodgers have long been high on Sirota as they drafted him in 2021 out of high school before he chose to attend Northeastern. They finally got their man last offseason acquiring him as part of the deal that sent Gavin Lux to the Reds before he ever took the field for a Cincinnati affiliate. The swing works through a clean, direct path with real bat speed, and when he decides to go, the ball comes off hot. He’s naturally selective — sometimes to a fault — but the discipline is real, and his in-zone contact gives him a strong foundation to build impact. Strength and leverage point to 20-plus home runs with continued lift, and early pro data backed that up before the knee injury cut things short. Defensively, the athleticism shows immediately. He gets strong first steps in center, closes well in the gaps, and pairs plus speed with a confident, accurate arm. Reads and routes have tightened since college, giving him a viable everyday CF projection once fully healthy. The energy level is always high, and makeup draws consistently strong reviews. Overall, Sirota offers a balanced, top-of-the-order profile built on discipline, bat speed, and true center-field value. If the knee holds and he keeps adding loft without losing the approach, he fits the mold of a hard-nosed, everyday CF with both on-base ability and sneaky impact. | |||||||||||
