All-Decade Los Angeles Dodgers Starters Continued
Hyun-Jin Ryu, LHP
- 2019 All-Star
Hyun-Jin Ryu came back to the Dodgers after accepting the Qualifying Offer and had the best season of his career. Even though 2019 was his best season, he has been a consistent starter for Los Angeles since 2013.
Ryu has won 14 games three times. He posted a 2.32 ERA and led the majors in 2019, coming in second for Cy Young to Jacob deGrom. This was his first All-Star season as well.
Ryu has been a part of their rotation since 2013 and has had a career ERA below 3.0.
Rich Hill, LHP
- 2016-2019
Rich Hill came to the Los Angeles Dodgers via trade with the Oakland A’s during the 2016 season. Hill has put together a decent career in his late 30’s with LA.
Over 69 game, Hill is 30-16 with a 3.16 ERA, striking out 427 batters over 361.1 innings.
He has been a valuable part of their rotation in the second half of the decade. He is a veteran lefty that can go deep into games.
Walker Buehler, RHP
- 2019 All-Star
Walker Buehler only has had two full seasons in the majors but is already an elite pitcher. The 24-year-old was an All-Star in 2019, going 14-4 with a 3.26 ERA.
Through 62 games, 53 starts, the young righty is 23-9 with a 3.12 career ERA.
The franchise has a lot of trust in Buehler and his future development. He was the starter of game 1 of the 2019 NLDS.
The next pitcher consider was Alex Wood. His time with the Dodgers was impressive but not as powerful as Buehler’s two seasons.
