The 2018 season was a breakout one for young Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Walker Buehler as he went from being the organization’s top prospect to perhaps the ace of their staff.
Buehler didn’t even begin 2018 in the big leagues due to an innings limit that management put on him in his second full season coming off Tommy John surgery. Things are much different going into the 2019 season for Buehler though.
Dodgers president of baseball operations said early in the winter that the hope is the right-hander can throw 200 innings this year, implying that Buehler will not have an innings restriction on him.
