The Los Angeles Dodgers announced their 2020 non-roster invitees to Major League Spring Training, including nine pitchers, three catchers, five infielders and four outfielders for a total of 21 players.
The group of 21 non-roster invitees to Major League camp will be right-handed pitchers Brett de Geus, Josiah Gray, Marshall Kasowski, Zach McAllister, Edubray Ramos, Jordan Sheffield and Edwin Uceta, left-handed pitchers Reymin Guduan, and Kyle Lobstein, catchers Rocky Gale, Jose Lobaton and Connor Wong, infielders Jacob Amaya, Jeter Downs, Omar Estevez, Connor Joe and Cristian Santana, and outfielders Anthony Garcia, Jeren Kendall, Zach Reks and Cody Thomas.
With the 21 non-roster invitees scheduled to attend Major League camp, the Spring Training total is at 61 players (30 pitchers, 31 position players), including all 40 players on the Dodgers 40-man roster. The first official Spring Training workout for pitchers and catchers is February 14, while the first full squad workout is February 18.
What does anyone out there know about Zach Reks? Over AA and AAA last year, he had 28 HR and 93 RBI while batting .291 but I never hear his name mentioned as a top prospect or possible trade material. His minor league stats are comparable to Rios, Will Smith, and Garlick. What gives?
