Dodgers: That Time Los Angeles Passed on Matt Chapman in the Draft

Sometimes, a team gets to look back at a particular draft class and smile. Take the 2015 MLB draft class, for example. The Dodgers could have opted to avoid Walker Buehler, given his injury history, and gone for a safer bet in Jon Harris out of Mississippi State.

Luckily, the Dodgers did not do that and took a gamble on Buehler bouncing back. Even they could not have anticipated how quickly and efficiently Buehler did recover to become on the of the most highly touted arms in baseball. Harris, meanwhile, ha still yet to see a game about Triple-A.
