In round 20 of the 2023 MLB draft, the Dodgers took a flier on a standout college football player. Los Angeles selected Oregon State quarterback DJ Uiagalelei, and the team listed him as a two-way player.
Uiagalelei was the No. 1-ranked quarterback in the class of 2020 when he committed to Clemson. He was also a strong baseball prospect and considered playing baseball in college, before deciding to focus on football at Clemson.
Uiagalelei has not played competitive baseball since attending St. John Bosco High School in Bellflower, Calif.
