Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Walker Buehler established himself as one of baseball’s youngest and brightest stars this past season behind a dominant campaign that culminated with a third-place finish in National League Rookie of the Year voting.
In 24 games (23 starts) during the regular season, Buehler went 8-5 with a 2.62 ERA, 3.04 FIP and 0.96 WHIP over 137.1 innings pitched. He struck out 151 batters and issued only 37 walks on the year.
Buehler then shined on baseball’s biggest stage, tossing seven shutout innings against the Boston Red Sox in Game 3 of the 2018 World Series.
