If you watched Walker Buehler pitch last Monday, it is sometimes hard to remember that he is a rookie starting pitcher. And today, when Buehler takes the mound in Atlanta, he will become one of just a few Dodger rookie pitchers to start a postseason game.
One thing up front, for this article, I am not including Dodger pitchers who pitched professionally in Asia before coming to Los Angeles. There are four pitchers, Hideo Nomo, Hiroki Kuroda, Hyun-jin Ryu and Kenta Maeda who all started postseason games in their first seasons with Los Angeles.
