Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Mike Sirota completes a talented group of outfielders developing in the minor leagues, along with Zyhir Hope, Josue De Paula and Eduardo Quintero.

The Dodgers have been been admirers of Sirota, drafting him in the 16th round of the 2021 MLB Draft, but he ended up spurning them for college ball.

He was later drafted in the third round by the Cincinnati Reds, going 87th overall. According to MLB Pipeline, he was pegged to go in the top of the first round before suffering from a slump in his junior year.

Sirota was traded to the Dodgers in the Gavin Lux deal in January 2025.

At 22, Sirota has only two years of professional baseball under his belt, though his first year was cut short by injury, so he has only one true season as a pro.

He is six feet two inches tall, weighs 188 pounds, and bats and throws with his right hand.

Where does Mike Sirota rank as a prospect?

Sirota sits at fourth in the Dodgers’ MLB Pipeline rankings, No. 60 overall. The Athletic’s Keith Law has him in the same spot in the organization’s rankings, but places Sirota at No. 51 overall.

FanGraphs has Sirota at sixth in Los Angeles’ farm system. Baseball America has Sirota at 45th overall and third in the Dodgers prospect rankings.

ESPN has Sirota as the No. 55 prospect in baseball, ranking third in the organization.

He also played with Great Lakes High-A, hitting .316/.458/.556 with six home runs and 30 RBIs to his name.

Mike Sirota Scouting Report

The outfielder will likely end up starting with the Double-A team in 2026, especially considering his age, turning 23 at some point during the season.

MLB Pipeline has Sirota projected to break into the major leagues in 2027, which means he will likely need to work his way up quickly and assertively to meet the timeline, but he is one of the farther-along prospects in the team’s system.

FanGraphs puts Sirota on a similar timeline, projecting a good deal of success in Tulsa next season.

Here are Dodgers’ prospect expert Casey Porter’s thoughts on Sirota when he spoke with Doug McKain, who celebrates Sirota as an old-school hitter.

“Yeah, talking about the hit tool. Now the opposite field hit tool, the complete offensive tool. And he’s a good defensive player too,” Porter said.

“I mean he’s a good athlete. He, he can run, no doubt about that. A guy I’ve actually put out on social media side by side to Paul Molitor. And the reason why I do that is the direct nature of which he gets to the baseball with his swing is just so impressive.

“I mean it, you know, there’s none of this loop to it, there’s none of this, whatever terminology or mechanics you want to preach. It’s none of that. It is as direct as baseball. It’s like it’s straight out of 1985. ‘Hey, we’re just trying to hit line drives, we’re trying to hit the ball the other way, we’re trying to stay inside the baseball.’

“And so I love watching Mike Sirota hit because with two strikes, he’s just as good as any other count because he’s looking to hit the ball the other way, no matter what the count is.

“So the, the offensive game for Mike Sirota, if you were to talk about the ceiling, is that he is going to gather a million hits in what I call the big part of the field.

“So if you go gap to gap, if you’re a hitter like Mike Sirota, you think opposite field gap, and if you’re a little bit early, you go pull side gap. And if you’re Mike Sirota, that’s the big part of the field, and what I like about him is that he’s going to use that big part of the field.

“That’s going to get him a lot of hits. So if you want a guy that’s going to gather a lot of hits, get on base, have a direct swing, put the ball in play, he’s your guy.”
