The Dodgers drafted 40 players in the June draft and eight in the January draft. Of those, eight players would eventually play in the Major Leagues. The first round draft pick in the June draft was pitcher
Bob Welch from
Eastern Michigan University. In 17 years with the Dodgers and
Oakland Athletics he started 462 games with a 211–146 record and a 3.47 ERA. He became a two time All-Star, a two time World Series Champion and won the 1990 American League
Cy Young Award. The draft also included
Mickey Hatcher, who hit .280 in 1130 games, mostly as an outfielder and was a part of two Dodgers World Series champions; outfielder/utility player
Ron Roenicke who played eight seasons in the Majors before becoming a coach and manager; and relief pitcher
Tom Niedenfuer, who was picked in the 36th round but would play 10 seasons in the Majors and save 97 games.
