1995 Los Angeles Dodgers season

March 2026 November 2013 Los Angeles Dodgers 1995 National League West champions National League Western Dodger Stadium Los Angeles 78–66 (.542) 1st Peter O'Malley Fred Claire Tommy Lasorda KTLA (5) KABC Vin Scully, Ross Porter, Rick Monday KWKW Jaime Jarrín, René Cárdenas The 1995 Los Angeles Dodgers season was the 106th for the franchise in Major League Baseball, and their 38th season in Los Angeles, California. The season was notable for the American baseball debut of Japanese pitcher Hideo Nomo. In his first season with the Dodgers after an accomplished career in the Japanese leagues, Nomo went 13–6 with a 2.54 ERA and a league leading 236 strikeouts. He was the starting pitcher in the All-Star game and won the Rookie of the Year award. Similar to 'Fernandomania' in 1981, Nomo's success in his debut season was nickname 'Nomomania'. The Dodgers won the National League West title, but lost to the Cincinnati Reds in the NLDS. This was Tommy Lasorda's final full season as manager of the Dodgers. Midway through the next season, Lasorda would be replaced by his former shortstop Bill Russell.

Of those, six of them would eventually play Major League baseball. The first draft pick was left handed pitcher David Yocum out of Florida State University. After an impressive first season with the Vero Beach Dodgers of the Florida State League, Yocum experienced pain in his left shoulder, several surgeries failed to correct the problem and he was out of baseball after just two seasons and 15 games. He later became a firefighter.http://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/community/miami-dade/miami-springs/article1978466.html Former Dodgers No. 1 pick David Yocum looks back 'at what might have been' Miami Herald Bill Daley November 5, 2014 November 14, 2014 1995 draft picksRoundNamePositionSchoolSignedCareer spanHighest level 1David YocumLHPFlorida State UniversityYes1995–1996A+2Darrin BabineauxRHPUniversity of Louisiana at LafayetteYes1995–2002AAA3Onan MasaokaLHPWaiakea High SchoolYes1995–2009MLB4Judd GranzowOFFaith Baptist High SchoolYes1995 A-5Seferino SotoRHPPalomar CollegeYes1995–1998A6Kevin GibbsOFOld Dominion UniversityYes1995–2004AAA7Trent CuevasSSEl Dorado High SchoolYes1995–1999AAA8Jon Tucker1BChatsworth High SchoolYes1995–1999 AA9Eric BrownSSEast St. John High SchoolYes1995–2003A+10Mike CarpentierSSCalifornia State University, SacramentoYes1994–1997 AA11Craig TaczyLHPShepard High SchoolYes 1995–2003 A+12Kenny MillerSSProvidence Catholic High SchoolNoMets-19971997–1999A+13Brad WilkersonLHPApollo High SchoolNoExpos-19991999–2009 MLB14Spencer MicunekRHP Henry Ford Community CollegeNo 15J.J.
