Dodgers: Meet LA’s new elite pitching prospect Walker Buehler

Walker Anthony Buehler was selected with the 24th pick in the 2015 MLB draft by the Dodgers. He was one of the highest rated college pitchers while attending powerhouse Vanderbilt and all Buehler has done since high school is win. His team won three straight district championships, and while at Vandy captured a College World Series.

With his body type, Buehler has drawn some comparisons to former Dodger, Zack Greinke. Much like Greinke, he has a simple wind-up and doesn’t have much extra-curricular movement going on. The difference is Buehler is exceptionally quick to the plate with his delivery.
