Klassen is currently considered the No. 3-ranked prospect in the system on MLB.com. In 2025, the right-hander spent the majority of the year in Double-A Rocket City before earning a brief six-inning stint at Triple-A Salt Lake. Across 102 2\/3 innings at Double-A, the former sixth-round selection from the 2023 MLB Draft posted a hefty 5.35 with a 1.48 WHIP. However, over his last 23 innings at Double-A before earning the promotion, Klassen posted a dominant 1.17 ERA with 32 punchouts. At Triple-A, Klassen totaled eight strikeouts across this brief stint, while allowing two runs with one free pass. Given Los Angeles&#8217;s weak pitching depth, Klassen could be in strong consideration for a promotion early in the season.&#8211;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoballer.com\/author\/redguins2002\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Andy Smith<\/a><br \/>Source: <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoballer.com\/mlb\/player\/691946\/George+Klassen\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">RotoBaller<\/a>                <\/p>\n<p>        <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"George Klassen a Name to Monitor in Los Angeles System Share: Link copied to clipboard!
