writing the names of the souls he took that inning 😭 Yoshinobu Yamamoto is proving his World Series MVP run last year was no fluke, finishing the regular season 14-9 with a 2.53 ERA and 182 strikeouts across 185 innings, good for an All-Star nod and a top-five ERA mark in the National League. He’s carried that right into October too, striking out 10 over seven innings in a dominant NLDS Game 3 win against Atlanta. That’s the kind of year-two jump that makes him must-watch every time he’s on the mound, nearly doubling his innings workload from his rookie season while actually getting better across the board. Dodgers fans already saw what he can do on the biggest stage last postseason, and he’s picking up right where he left off. Is Yamamoto establishing himself as the best pitcher in baseball right now?
