LOS ANGELES -- With their first-round selection in the 2015 MLB Draft, the Dodgers selected right-handed pitcher Walker Buehler from Vanderbilt with the No. 24 overall pick.
This is the first pick for the new front office regime and scouting director Billy Gasparino. This marks the third consecutive year the Dodgers have drafted a pitcher in the first round, following Chris Anderson in 2013 and Grant Holmes in 2014.
The right-hander was 4-2 with a 2.97 ERA in 14 starts as a junior for Vanderbilt in 2015, with 81 strikeouts and 25 walks in 78u2154 innings.
