Buehler is listed as the number 13 prospect on Baseball America entering the 2018 season which ranks him at the top of Dodgers organization. The hard-throwing 23-year-old righty out of Vanderbilt got his feet wet in the majors last year getting called up in September while appearing in 8 games.
Buehler struggled a bit allowing eight earned runs in 9.1 innings, but he did show he has excellent stuff striking out 12 batters. He definitely showed his was talented but didn’t show he had enough command of the strike zone yet to make a real impact. Buehler was drafted in the first round 24th overall by the Dodgers in the 2015 Amateur Draft.
