Major League Baseball draft

[edit]

Main article:1979 Major League Baseball draft

The Dodgers drafted 36 players in the June draft and 11 in the January draft. Of those, five players would eventually play in the Major Leagues.

The Dodgers lost their first round pick in the June draft to theSan Diego Padres because they signed free agentDerrel Thomas but they gained the first round picks of thePittsburgh Pirates (compensation forLee Lacy) andNew York Yankees (forTommy John). With those picks they drafted two players from theUniversity of Michigan, left-handed pitcherSteve Howe and right-handed pitcher Steve Perry. Howe was the 1980NL Rookie of the Year, a 1981 World Series Champion and a 1982 All-Star. He played in 12 seasons and saved 328 games before a drug addiction forced him out of the game. Perry pitched six seasons in the minors, the last two with the AAAAlbuquerque Dukes, and finished 28-40 with a 5.34 ERA before the Dodgers released him.

This year's draft class also included pitcherOrel Hershiser fromBowling Green University, who was picked in the 17th round. He pitched 18 seasons (13 with the Dodgers), winning 204 games. He set a Major League record with a59 consecutive scoreless inning streak in 1988 en route to winning theCy Young Award and theWorld Series MVP. He was also a three-time All-Star.
