The Dodgers won 86 games, but failed to make the postseason, finishing second in the National League West.
Manager Davey Johnson was fired after the season and replaced with bench coach Jim Tracy.
The first round pick was right-handed pitcher Ben Diggins from the University of Arizona.
He was traded to the Milwaukee Brewers in 2002 and appeared in five games with them as a starting pitcher that season with an 0–4 record and an 8.63 ERA.
The second round pick, pitcher Joel Hanrahan from Norwalk High School would be the only moderately successful player in this draft class.
