Six members of the Los Angeles Dodgers made ESPN’s list of the top 100 Major League Baseball players for the 2019 season. However, several Dodgers ranked significantly lower than their spots on ESPN’s 2018 list.
Clayton Kershaw was the most notable case, dropping from No. 2 in 2018 to No. 41 for this season, after dealing with arm and back injuries last year. Kershaw remained the highest-ranking Dodger on the list, though only by one spot.
Walker Buehler placed right behind him at No. 42, marking the young right-hander’s first appearance on the top 100.
