The Cincinnati Reds drafted Josiah Gray out of LeMoyne College in Syracuse in the second round of the 2018 MLB draft. He debuted at the rookie-level with the Greeneville Reds where he went 2-2 with a 2.58 ERA in 12 starts.
The Reds then traded Gray to the Dodgers, along with Jeter Downs and Homer Bailey, in December of 2018. The Dodgers sent over Matt Kemp, Yasiel Puig, Alex Wood, Kyle Farmer, and cash considerations.
In 2019, Josiah Gray started his season with the low-a Great Lake Loons. By May, the Dodgers promoted him to the high-A Rancho Cucamonga Quakes. By July, they called Gray up to the double-a Tulsa Drillers. In his first year with the Dodgers, he made 25 starts and one relief appearance, going 11-2 with an ERA of 2.70 with 147 strikeouts in 130 innings. The Dodgers named Gray Minor League pitcher of the year in 2019.
Josiah Gray currently ranks as the Dodgers top prospect. Dodger fans expected to see him at the big league level before the season shortened. Now, it’s not clear if Gray will see major league play this year or not. Currently, he is stationed at the Dodgers Alternative 60 man site at USC.
