Top 20 Breakout MLB Stars of 2018

16. Walker Buehler

Walker Buehler had a great rookie season in 2018 in which he pitched to a 2.62 ERA with 151 strikeouts in 137 1/3 innings pitched.

Where the Dodgers pitcher really established himself as star though was in the NL West Tie-Breaker Game.

Buehler was given the nod to start the game ahead of incumbent ace Clayton Kershaw and pitched a gem, allowing just one hit. He continued to pitch great throughout the postseason and has established himself as the ace of the future for the Dodgers.
