Building toward the future continued for the Dodgers on Day 2 of the 2021 MLB Draft in Denver on Monday. Los Angeles had eight selections in Rounds 3-10 to boost its prospect-enriched farm system, and it chose a pitcher with each pick.

During Day 1 of the Draft, the Dodgers selected left-handed pitcher Maddux Bruns as the 29th overall pick in Round 1.

Round 3, 101st overall: Peter Heubeck, RHP, Gilman School (Md.)

Notable Skill: At just 18 years old, Heubeck has an overwhelming pitching arsenal on the mound. The right-hander tops out at 94 mph with his fastball and can locate a devastating breaking ball down in the strike zone. Heubeck, standing at 6-foot-3, led the Gilman School Greyhounds with a 1.20 ERA and 101 strikeouts in 64 1/3 innings. The righty also has power at the plate, as he posted a .333 batting average with nine RBIs in 27 at-bats.

Fun Fact: Heubeck was a catcher when he joined his high school baseball team.

Quotable: “Peter is one of the hardest-working and most-dedicated players I have ever coached,” Gilman baseball coach Larry Sheets told The Baltimore Sun. “He is a bulldog on the mound and nothing seems to rattle him.”

Round 4, 131st overall: Nick Nastrini, RHP, UCLA

Notable Skill: When it comes to striking out hitters, Nastrini can answer the call. In his three years with the UCLA Bruins, the right-hander struck out 12.8 batters per nine innings. In his first start of the 2021 season, Nastrini notched two career highs by striking out 11 batters in 6 1/3 innings against the University of San Francisco. Though his 6.89 ERA in his junior year was the highest of his college career, opponents were only hitting .168 against him.

Fun Fact: Nastrini has a couple of things in common with Dodgers manager Dave Roberts. While both donned the UCLA uniform, they also call San Diego their hometown.

Round 5, 162nd overall: Ben Casparius, RHP, UConn

Notable Skill: In his only season with the Huskies, Casparius pitched 91 2/3 innings and finished second in school history with 127 strikeouts. The right-hander led the Big East Conference with 15 starts and eight wins. His dominance in the strike zone took center stage when he tossed a shutout with a season-high 15 strikeouts against Georgetown.

Fun Fact: Before Casparius became a Division 1 college pitcher, he was deemed one of the best hitters in Connecticut by being the all-time high school hits leader in the state. In 2017, Perfect Game rated Casparius as the No. 1 overall player in Connecticut and the No. 22 overall shortstop in the country.

Round 6, 192nd overall: Emmet Sheehan, RHP, Boston College

Notable Skill: Sheehan showed that he can go deep in games, as he averaged nearly six innings per start for the Eagles. He allowed 21 extra-base hits (seven homers), but opposing teams posted just a .222 batting average against the right-hander. Sheehan tallied 106 strikeouts in 76 2/3 innings, but he did have some command issues, allowing 34 walks and hitting 13 batters.

Fun Fact: Before his 6-foot-5 stature towered over the mound, he dunked on the court with his varsity basketball team as a high school senior.

Quotable: “During the first couple of games, I didn’t have a very tough time. But after those first starts ... I had to rethink what my mentality would be on the mound moving forward,” Sheehan told Bird’s Eye View of his start to the season. “Since then, I’ve just been in attack mode all the time, just going out there to beat each batter while staying aggressive.”

Round 7, 222nd overall: Ryan Sublette, RHP, Texas Tech

Notable Skill: In 2021, Sublette pitched a career-high 42 1/3 innings out of Texas Tech’s bullpen. He transitioned to the ‘pen after he made eight starts for the Red Raiders with an ERA of 9.49 as a freshman. But he found success as a reliever over the next few years, and his ERA in 2021 was a strong 2.34.

Fun Fact: In high school, Sublette set a record for the most strikeouts in a single game in an Illinois State Tournament with 14 punchouts.

Quotable: “I think you can reflect back and appreciate how easy [Sublette] made things look at times,” Texas Tech baseball coach Tim Tadlock told the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal of Sublette’s ability to stay calm in stressful situations. “It's about executing pitches, it's not about the results that happened.”

Round 8, 252nd overall: Ben Harris, LHP, University of Georgia

Notable Skill: Harris’ collegiate career as a pitcher isn’t extensive. He made one pitching appearance as a freshman for the University of Virginia and had to sit out the 2020 season after transferring to Georgia. But the Dodgers liked what they saw from the 6-foot-1 southpaw as a redshirt sophomore, as he posted a 2.33 ERA in 38 2/3 innings. Harris utilizes a slow curveball to offset his 95 mph fastball to rack up strikeouts, an arsenal that can be effective in late innings with a close lead.

Fun Fact: Harris was named to the SEC Academic Honor Roll for the 2020-21 academic year as a business major.

Quotable: “I think it was a question mark for me, too,” Harris said in a postgame interview of being successful as a reliever without any experience. “I didn’t have too much experience coming in, but really I’m just happy I get to play. I love coming and doing whenever the coaches tell me to. I’m happy to go in there and do the best that I can.”

Round 9, 282nd overall: Lael Lockhart, LHP, University of Arkansas

Notable Skill: His fastball reaches 94 mph, a remarkable velocity for a player who became a pitcher during his sophomore season of college. Lockhart made his first appearance on the mound in 2018 for the University of Houston. He transferred to Arkansas for his senior season, and the southpaw made 14 starts for the Razorbacks, striking out 10.5 batters per nine innings.

Fun Fact: Lockhart made a strong impression as a true freshman for Houston at the plate, as he played in 56 games as a first baseman/outfielder. He hit .276 with nine doubles, one triple and one home run.

Quotable: “So once I came out there in the sixth or seventh inning, I was like, ‘Oh, we got a chance at a perfect game here,’’' Lockhart told Pig Trail Nation of the near perfect game he tossed against Georgia in this year’s SEC Tournament. “That last guy comes up ... I think he jumps on a first-pitch fastball, hits it in that six hole. I was just praying he tripped or did something out of the box.”

Round 10, 312th overall: Michael Hobbs, RHP, St. Mary's College (Calif.)

Notable Skill: Hobbs led the St. Mary’s College pitching staff with six saves in 19 appearances. He compiled a 1.00 WHIP to complement his sub-1.00 ERA. He has the potential to be a big league closer after he established his dominance on the mound, allowing two earned runs in 25 innings.

Fun Fact: Hobbs pitched two playoff no-hitters as a junior and senior for Corona (Calif.) High School.

Quotable: “Hobbs’ best attribute is definitely his work ethic,” Corona High School teammate Brendan Beck told Corona-Norco Unified School District in 2017. “He’ll outwork anyone to get done what he needs to have done. He works in the weight room, then practices. Mentally, whatever he needs to do to get ready, he’s willing to do it.”
