Joendry Vargas

18-Year-Old ShortstopSS
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

September 17, 2024
Vargas slashed .303/.406/.493 with four home runs and 11 steals in 38 Arizona Complex League games.
ANALYSIS
The 6-foot-4 infielder logged 30 starts at shortstop and four starts at third base, but many evaluators expect him to eventually outgrow the six and slide to the hot corner. Vargas' last official game of the year was July 11, yet he hit a home run in the ACL Dodgers' championship-clinching game over the ACL D-backs on July 30, per Kenny Van Doren of MiLB.com. Unlike ACL teammate Eduardo Quintero, Vargas did not get assigned to Single-A Rancho Cucamonga after the complex league wrapped up.
