Yoshinobu Yamamoto is thriving in his second season with the Los Angeles Dodgers after overcoming injury setbacks. Following a promising but injury-shortened rookie year and a World Series win, he has shown remarkable improvement. Manager Dave Roberts confirmed the team's confidence in Yamamoto's health, allowing him more pitching freedom. With a current ERA of 0.93 and high strikeout rates, Yamamoto is demonstrating he can perform at elite levels. His recent ability to exceed 100 pitches signals a significant development in his durability and effectiveness on the mound.
"I think that that's past us. Just talking to (pitching coach) Mark Prior and the training staff, feeling like his body's in a good place so we can push him a little bit and I have."
"Through five starts, Yamamoto has a 0.93 ERA, 2.03 FIP, 0.86 WHIP and 35.2% strikeout rate. He is second in the Majors in terms of ERA, fourth in strikeout percentage, and top-10 for total strikeouts."
