Dodgers Top Ten Prospects - Number Eight - Preston Mattingly

by @ 5:30 pm. Filed under Preston Mattingly

Preston Mattingly comes in as the Dodgers eighth best prospect and he’s the first guy I’ve wrote up that showed up on all three listsd.  His best showing was on Kevin Goldstein’s list where he finished seventh.  John Sickels indicated that he was drafted as a shortstop out of high school in the supplemental first round last year, but odds are he could turn out to be an outfielder.  He’s also the son of Don Mattingly so he has hitter in his blood.

Mattingly made his pro debut in the Gulf Coast League last year and in 186 at bats, he racked up an unspectacular .290/.322/.403 line.  Keep in mind though, he just turned 19 last August.  Baseball America thinks he’ll start the season at extended spring training then head to Ogden.  This is definitely a guy to keep an eye on, especially if the homeruns start coming.
