Emmet Sheehan is arguably the most successful homegrown Dodgers starter since Walker Buehler. Dustin May was a bust, Tony Gonsolin was a bust, Bobby Miller was a bust. Gavin Stone, River Ryan, Kyle Hurt, and even more contemporaries of Sheehan got injured at the wrong times.
Sheehan did undergo Tommy John in 2024 after a rocky debut season (4.92 ERA in 60 1/3 innings in 2023), but he came back with a vengeance in 2025 while Stone, Ryan, and Hurt were on the shelf. He pitched 73 1/3 innings (12 starts in 15 appearances) for a 2.82 ERA.
