But on Feb. 28, in the bottom of the ninth inning of a spring training game against the Angels at Camelback Ranch, top Dodgers prospect Dalton Rushing stepped up to the plate, saw the winning runs aboard, and recognized an opportunity to make another impression.

So, when the Dodgers signed Shohei Ohtani to his record-breaking $700 million contract in late 2023, Dreyer decided to commemorate the moment with a unique piece of art, creating a Rubik’s Cube portrait of the two-way star that was displayed at the team’s Camelback Ranch facility last spring.

Dreyer said he got the news while playing catch at Camelback Ranch, when Dodgers director of player development Matt McGrath came out to the field to inform him of the decision.

In his first official Major League Baseball contest, in the Dodgers’ 4-2 win against the Cincinnati Reds in Cactus League play at Camelback Ranch, 23-year-old phenom Roki Sasaki displayed all the tools that made him such a coveted commodity coming over from Japan this offseason.

A packed crowd gathered at Camelback Ranch to watch the Dodgers and Angels square off for the first time.
