The last time we checked on the progress of Dodgers‘ pitching prospect Walker Buehler, the young righty was coming off a successful return to the bump, having contributed to the postseason success of Low-A Great Lakes after missing more than a year recovering from Tommy John surgery.
During this past spring, he made himself known to fans throughout Cactus League play, and began the regular season at High-A Rancho Cucamonga, where he posted a 1.10 ERA over five starts and 16-1/3 innings, striking out a whopping 27 opposing batters in the process.
