Early this season, three more players he signed made their major league debuts. Lamb joined the BA podcast in May to discuss his longevity, signing his latest big leaguers Luke Raley, Jordan Sheffield and Zach Pop and his work with the organization. This Q&A has been edited for length and clarity.

Q: You’ve had quite the track record of signing future big leaguers. What’s your secret?

A: (Laughs). I guess the secret is working for a good organization. I mean, I’ve been lucky enough with (scouting directors) Ed Creech, Logan White, Tim Hallgren and now Billy Gasparino, and then all the people underneath them. And then you know the player development guys that once they get (drafted players) and the work that they’ve done with them. I’ve enjoyed working with the Dodgers. We’ve just got a bunch of good people who are all working for the same goal.
