American · Buffalo, USA · Born 1 July 1994American professional baseball pitcher known for his World Series performances and dominant postseason pitching for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Walker Buehler is the Los Angeles Dodgers' talented right-hander who has established himself as one of the game's finest starters when healthy. His overpowering arsenal, mental toughness, and exceptional postseason performances have made him a key figure in Dodgers playoff runs. After Tommy John surgery, he has worked to regain his elite form and return to the top of the rotation. Buehler left the Dodgers as a free agent after the 2024 season and signed with Boston, but a difficult 2025 campaign led to his release mid-season; he later joined the San Diego Padres, continuing his career against the very franchise, in the Dodgers, that he'd once helped deliver two World Series titles.
