Rushing has split time between first base and catcher throughout his professional career, but he plays far more behind the plate.<\/p>\n
He played 28 innings at first for the Dodgers in 2025, and had a perfect fielding percentage. During his time in the minors, Rushing played first base at every level from Single-A to Triple-A, with most of his innings coming in High-A.<\/p>\n
He played a total of 305 innings at first in the minors, and had a .977 fielding percentage during his time at the position. Rushing also spent 288.1 innings in left field during his minor league career, and could fill in there if needed as well.<\/p>\n
Will The Dodgers Keep Rushing?<\/p>\n
Rushing\u2019s name has come up in trade talks<\/a> throughout the offseason, and even as far back as the trade deadline, but the Dodgers don\u2019t seem keen on trading their former No. 1 prospect.<\/p>\n Manager Dave Roberts<\/a> said the Dodgers weren\u2019t likely to move him in July 2025.<\/p>\n \u201cI haven\u2019t talked to Dalton,\u201d Roberts said.<\/a> \u201cI just don\u2019t see a world in which he\u2019s moved anyway, and I think he\u2019s smart enough to realize that. I don\u2019t think it\u2019s going to impact him. I really don\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n LA Baseball Report<\/p>\n Get the app for faster news<\/p>\n![\"App](\"https:\/\/dodgersnation.com\/path\/to\/app-icon.png\"){kind=icon}
