The Dodgers got their first look at the future on Wednesday afternoon. With family and friends in attendance, Ryan Pepiot got to make his big league debut against the Pirates. And while the efficiency wasn’t quite there, Pepiot had a pretty solid debut in which he did not allow a run.
Across 3 innings of work, Pepiot tossed 77 pitches and walked 5 batters. He added 3 strikeouts and worked around a whole lot of traffic with those free passes. But it was a good chance for Dodges fans to see what the future could look like.
If Pepiot can dial in his control and further develop a third pitch, he could be a big part of the Dodgers’ rotation.
