Dodgers News: Walker Buehler Doesn’t Like Facing Batters He Knows

Since being selected with the No. 24 overall pick in the 2015 MLB Draft, Walker Buehler has established himself as a key part of the Los Angeles Dodgers starting rotation both for the present and future.

He had a cup of coffee with the team in 2017 before entering the rotation on a permanent basis the following year, going 8-5 with a 2.62 ERA and 0.96 WHIP over 24 games (23 starts). Enjoying that kind of success at the age of 23 put Buehler on the map.

He became a household name and has gone on to develop relationships with many of the league’s top players.
