‘They’re gonna get an opportunity.’ Meet the four pitchers leading the Dodgers’ youth movement

LA Times  

It was right around this time of Dodgers spring training last year when Tyler Anderson came walking through the door. “That’s a good thing for them individually and also for the organization, to kind of promote from within.” Dodgers minor league pitching director Rob Hill beams with pride when discussing the growth of the team’s four young arms. When Hill was hired by the Dodgers ahead of the 2020 season, each one was just embarking on their professional careers — Grove as a 2018 second-round pick who’d only recently recovered from Tommy John surgery, Pepiot as a third-round pick the previous summer, and Miller and Stone as soon-to-be first- and fifth-round additions in that year’s draft class. “He’s in a great spot with all those things.” Michael Grove started six games for the Dodgers in 2022, including one against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sept. 14. After being taken with the second-to-last pick in the pandemic-shortened 2020 draft and struggling in Class A during 2021, Stone burst onto the scene as the Dodgers’ minor league pitcher of the year last season.
