The Dodgers acquired Joe Wieland as part of their Yasmani Grandal / Matt Kemp trade, adding to their major-league-ready starting pitching depth. But the right-hander had a rough first season with his new organization.
What went right
Wieland had 22 strikeouts against only two walks in 20 innings in his first four starts with Triple-A Oklahoma City, earning his first call up to the Dodgers.
He ended his Triple-A season 4-1 with a 3.00 ERA in his final six starts, averaging 6.5 innings per start during that span, with 30 strikeouts and seven walks.
