The only player on the list that made the Top 100 prospects list at Dodgers Digest is Bellinger, who checked in at #5. In his 24 at-bats this spring, Bellinger definitely turned heads, posting a .417/.563/.625/1.188 line with eight walks against just five strikeouts. If he can carry any of what he did over to AA this year, he could be in Los Angeles sooner than later.
Hicks, Zarraga, and Brown were all extreme long-shots to make the roster, and will serve primarily as organizational players in the minors. Hicks posted a .520 OPS in 20 at-bats, Zarraga impressively put up a 1.129 OPS in 19 at-bats, and Brown had a .679 OPS in 24 at-bats.
That leaves 41 players in big league camp, including 21 pitchers, 20 position players and 7 non-roster invitees

That 41 includes Hyun-jin Ryu, Brett Anderson & Josh Ravin, all of whom are hurt but not yet on DL or optioned. So effectively 13 cuts left
