Bote signed a minor-league contract with the Dodgers on Saturday and received an invitation to spring training, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Scouting Report
His strike-zone judgment, bat speed and plate discipline set him apart from other players. Owns good pop in his bat and enough home-run power to hit double-digit home runs annually. Does not really have a position to call his own, so it will be nearly impossible for him to avoid being labeled a 'utility infielder' at the highest level. Is not a big base-stealer, either.
Long Range Potential: Utility infielder with a little upside.
