Walker Buehler has taken over as the ace of the Los Angeles Dodgers pitching staff despite the team also employing two future Hall-of-Famers who are still both great in their own right.
While the 27-year-old has had success since joining the rotation in 2018, this season Buehler has taken another step and looks like the favorite to win the National League Cy Young Award.
His development has caught the eyes of teammates and coaches, who credit the right-hander for advancing in his development by becoming someone the Dodgers can rely on every time he is on the mound.
