1980 Los Angeles Dodgers season

The 1980 Los Angeles Dodgers season was the 91st season for the Los Angeles Dodgers franchise in Major League Baseball (MLB), their 23rd season in Los Angeles, California, and their 19th season playing their home games at Dodger Stadium. The Dodgers finished the season in second place in the National League West, one game behind the Houston Astros. After the 162-game regular season, the Dodgers and Astros were tied in first place in the Western Division. The two teams faced off in a 1-game playoff on October 6, 1980 at Dodger Stadium, which the Astros won 7–1 behind a complete-game victory by pitcher Joe Niekro. Don Sutton set a Dodger record with his 52nd career shutout this season and the Dodgers also hosted the All-Star game for the first time.

With the Dodgers joining the pay television trend, several games began to be broadcast on regional subscription channel ON TV, which aired on KBSC-TV in the greater Los Angeles area. As a result, the TV broadcasting team was expanded. For games aired on ON TV, the broadcast team was composed of Geoff Witcher and former Dodger Al Downing. However, long-time Dodger broadcaster Vin Scully remained as the announcer for games aired on free-to-air television (KTTV).

Major League Baseball draft

The Dodgers drafted 36 players in the June draft and 16 in the January draft. Of those, six players would eventually play in the Major Leagues. The Dodgers did not have picks in rounds 2-4 this season as those picks were awarded to other teams as compensation for their signing of free agents.

The first round pick in the June draft was shortstop Ross Jones of the University of Miami. The Dodgers traded him to the New York Mets in 1983 and he would appear in 67 games in parts of three seasons with the Mets and two other teams, hitting only .221.

This was a fairly weak draft class for the Dodgers, with the most notable player being outfielder R. J. Reynolds, who was drafted in the 2nd round of the January draft and played 8 unremarkable seasons as a backup outfielder before finishing up his career in Japan with Nippon Professional Baseball.
