La temporada 1996 de los Dodgers de Los Ángeles vio a los Dodgers permanecer en la cima de la clasificación la mayor parte de la temporada. Sin embargo, el veterano entrenador Tommy Lasorda sufrió un ataque cardíaco a mitad de temporada y tuvo que renunciar. Bill Russell , entrenador de banca de Lasorda y exjugador de los Dodgers, fue elegido para dirigir el resto de la temporada.

Los Dodgers llegaron al último fin de semana de la temporada con una ventaja de dos juegos sobre los Padres de San Diego , y solo necesitaban ganar uno de los últimos tres juegos con los Padres para hacerse con la corona de la División Oeste de la Liga Nacional. Sin embargo, los Padres los barrieron y los Dodgers llegaron cojeando a los playoffs como un equipo comodín. Los Dodgers fueron barridos por los Bravos de Atlanta en la Serie Divisional de la Liga Nacional .

Los Dodgers utilizaron 15 lanzadores diferentes durante la temporada, la menor cantidad de cualquier equipo de Grandes Ligas en 1996. ^[1]

Major League Baseball draft

Main article: 1996 Major League Baseball draft

The Dodgers selected 79 players in this draft. Of those, seven of them would eventually play Major League baseball.

The top draft pick was third baseman Damian Rolls from Schlagel High School. He was selected by the Kansas City Royals in the 1999 Rule 5 draft and then traded to the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, where he played parts of five seasons with a .248 batting average, 9 homers and 73 RBI.

Shortstop Alex Cora was drafted in the third round out of the University of Miami. He would play 14 seasons in the Majors (7 of them with the Dodgers), primarily as a utility infielder/defensive replacement. He hit .243 in 1,273 games

The most successful player in this draft class was left-handed pitcher Ted Lilly from Fresno City College, who was drafted in the 23rd round. A two-time All-Star, he would play 15 seasons in the Majors (the last 4 with the Dodgers) and had a 130-113 record and 4.14 ERA in 356 games (331 starts).
