Eduardo Quintero demonstrated why he is considered one of the most dynamic athletes in the Dodgers’ farm system Monday.

Quintero singled, walked twice and stole three bases during the Glendale Desert Dogs’ 13–12 loss to the Mesa Solar Sox in Arizona Fall League action.

The 21-year-old reached base three times in five plate appearances and accounted for half of Glendale’s six stolen bases.

Charles Davalan and Chase Harlan also contributed two hits and one RBI apiece, giving Dodgers fans a productive look at three of the organization’s most talented young position players.

The individual performances were encouraging for different reasons.

Quintero displayed his speed. Davalan continued emerging from a slow Fall League start. Harlan added another strong game to what has already been an impressive month in Arizona.

Eduardo Quintero Brings A Different Kind Of Athleticism

Quintero is currently ranked as the Dodgers’ No. 2 prospect and the No. 15 prospect in baseball by MLB Pipeline.

He earned those rankings after producing one of the best all-around seasons in the organization.

Quintero batted .309 with a .445 on-base percentage, .495 slugging percentage and .940 OPS for High-A Great Lakes in 2026. He hit 12 home runs, stole 44 bases and scored 107 times before receiving a late promotion to Double-A Tulsa.

His Fall League results have been less consistent at the plate.

Quintero entered Monday batting .139 with five hits in 36 at-bats. However, he had already drawn nine walks, allowing him to maintain a .326 on-base percentage despite the low batting average.

Monday’s performance represented progress. He collected another hit, accepted two walks and turned those opportunities into three stolen bases.

Quintero has now stolen 148 bases across his regular-season and Fall League games since beginning his professional career.

What To Watch With Quintero

The biggest question is how quickly Quintero’s advanced approach and physical tools translate against upper-level pitching.

He already controls the strike zone, produces strong exit velocities and possesses enough speed to remain in center field. MLB Pipeline believes his combination of power and speed gives him at least 25-homer, 25-steal potential.

Quintero appeared in only one regular-season game for Tulsa, so Double-A will represent his next significant challenge.

If his bat continues developing, his ability to reach base, steal bases and defend center field could give the Dodgers a skill set their current major-league roster does not consistently possess.

Charles Davalan Is Beginning To Find Results

Davalan entered the Arizona Fall League after an exceptional first full professional season.

The Dodgers selected him with the 41st overall pick in the 2025 draft, and he quickly became one of the organization’s most productive hitters.

Davalan batted .292/.402/.535 with 24 home runs, 29 doubles, 72 RBIs and 17 stolen bases across 115 games for Great Lakes. His combination of contact, patience and emerging power earned him the Midwest League MVP award.

His Fall League production has not matched those regular-season numbers.

Davalan entered Monday batting .200 with a .340 on-base percentage and .375 slugging percentage through 11 games.

His recent results have been more encouraging.

Davalan hit his second Fall League home run Saturday, providing Glendale with immediate offense from the leadoff position. He followed that performance with two hits and one RBI Monday.

The two-game stretch does not erase his slow start, but it provides evidence that his timing may be improving after a long first full season.

What To Watch With Davalan

Davalan’s work at second base may be more important than his Fall League batting line.

He played primarily in the outfield during the regular season, but the Dodgers are using his time in Arizona to expand his defensive versatility.

If Davalan proves capable of handling second base, he would give Los Angeles more ways to eventually place his bat in the lineup.

The offensive foundation is already strong. He demonstrated an advanced approach, consistent contact and more power than many evaluators expected during the regular season.

His next step is showing that the production can carry into Double-A while becoming comfortable at another defensive position.

Chase Harlan Continues His Strong Fall

Harlan has arguably been the most productive Dodgers hitter on Glendale’s roster.

The 20-year-old third baseman entered Monday batting .286/.415/.548 with three home runs, 10 RBIs and a .963 OPS through 12 Fall League games.

He then added two more hits and another RBI against Mesa.

That performance followed a four-hit game Thursday in which Harlan doubled, homered and drove in three runs. He also drew a walk and scored in Saturday’s victory over Scottsdale.

Harlan’s Fall League success builds upon a strong regular season.

He batted .298 with a .403 on-base percentage and .912 OPS across 86 games between Single-A Ontario and High-A Great Lakes. He finished with 14 home runs and 66 RBIs despite missing the final month with an oblique injury.

The Dodgers selected Harlan in the third round of the 2024 draft directly out of high school. MLB Pipeline now ranks him ninth in the organization.

What To Watch With Harlan

Power is Harlan’s most obvious carrying tool.

At 6-foot-3 and 205 pounds, he already possesses the strength to produce significant damage without selling out his swing. His regular-season on-base percentage also indicates that he offers more than raw power.

The next question is whether he can continue making enough contact as he advances.

Harlan struck out 17 times in his first 42 Fall League at-bats. That has not prevented him from producing, but more experienced pitchers will continue testing his plate discipline and ability to handle quality breaking pitches.

Defensively, the Dodgers will evaluate whether Harlan can remain at third base. He has the arm strength for the position, and doing so would increase his long-term value.

Three Different Development Stories

Quintero, Davalan and Harlan are not competing for the same future role.

Quintero projects as an athletic center fielder whose speed can change games.

Davalan is an advanced left-handed hitter attempting to add second base to his defensive profile.

Harlan is a power-oriented corner infielder whose bat has continued producing against Fall League competition.

None is an immediate candidate for the Dodgers’ Opening Day roster.

Quintero and Davalan received only brief exposure to Double-A at the end of the season, while Harlan finished the year at High-A. Their work in Arizona is another developmental step—not a signal that a major-league promotion is approaching.

What Monday provided was a snapshot of the variety inside the Dodgers’ system.

One prospect created pressure with his legs. Another continued adjusting to a new defensive position. The third extended a strong offensive run against advanced competition.

Eduardo Quintero’s three stolen bases attracted the most attention, but the progress of Quintero, Charles Davalan and Chase Harlan gives Dodgers fans three distinct young players worth following into 2027.
