Building the Los Angeles Dodgers 2010s all-decade pitching staff

The Dodgers have cycled through a ton of pitching over the last decade, but some starters really stood out, both in the regular season and postseason.

From homegrown stars like Clayton Kershaw and Walker Buehler, to imports like Zach Greinke and Rich Hill, there have been plenty of fun personalities and big arms in the starting rotation over the last ten years.

The same can be said of the bullpen as well, even as much of the recent discourse surrounding the bullpen has been negative. Kenley Jansen and Jonathan Broxton provided the homegrown talent the backend of the ‘pen needed in playoff runs across the decade, while reminding people of Eric Gagñe’s historic run in the early part of the century.

Pitching is a vastly important element of a successful team, and the Dodgers have had some of the greatest arms of the decade perform at their peaks to help guide the team to the postseason. As the Astros and Nationals have emphasized, the power of the starting pitcher is still high above any other position in the game, even as the past few World Series winners focused on bullpen success.

This is the second of a set of all-decade team articles recapping the 2010s. In the first article, I went through the offense, going position by position to create an all-2010s roster, complete with short blurbs about why I selected each player. I broke down the roster into pitchers and hitters, with honorable mentions as well (Don’t be afraid to comment on who I snubbed, as I’ll certainly find a way to leave off a big name or two).
