Joc Pederson, who is competing for the Dodgers’ starting center field job in spring training, is the number-two outfield prospect in all of baseball, according to MLB.com.

Writes Teddy Cahill:

The outfield logjam at Dodger Stadium extends to their prospect ranks. Pederson was named the 2014 Pacific Coast League MVP after hitting .303/.435/.582 with 33 home runs and 30 stolen bases in 121 games for Triple-A Albuquerque. He has solid all-around tools, and after making his Major League debut in September, he figures to soon play a prominent role in Los Angeles.
