The Dodgers used their two first-round picks in Major League Baseball’s draft to take college power-hitting prospects, selecting Tulane third baseman Kody Hoese with the 25th overall pick and North Carolina infielder/outfielder Michael Busch at No. 31.
Busch, regarded as one of the best pure hitters in college baseball this season, will join the Dodgers as a second baseman despite not playing the position in three seasons at North Carolina. Busch, who played first base and left field in college, played games at second base in the Cape League last summer after playing shortstop in high school in Minnesota.
“Wherever I can play and be in the lineup to help the team offensively, I think, is the biggest contribution I'm going to make,” Busch said. “But wherever on the field they put me is where I'll work the hardest at, that's for sure.” Ryu threw a shutout May 7 against Atlanta and carried a no-hitter into the eighth inning in his next outing against Washington. The performances comprised a chunk of his streak of 32 consecutive scoreless innings.“No surprise,” manager Dave Roberts said. “And this guy, it's all sort of blending together, all those starts that he's made this year. He's been so consistent and to get the national recognition as National League pitcher of the month, well deserved.
