""I think so," Roberts said when asked if Ohtani could win his first Cy Young. "I think this year, he pitched better than I expected, given [he was] coming off surgery. And this offseason, he's going to have a regular offseason. I think he absolutely could win a Cy Young, but I think Yamamoto is going to have something to say about it too.""
"Ohtani made his return to pitching in 2025 after recovering from Tommy John surgery, and picked up where he left off on the mound. He made 14 starts for the Dodgers this season, throwing 47 innings. Throughout his outings, he kept a 2.87 ERA, the second-best season total of his career, and struck out 62 batters this season. Prior to 2025, Ohtani hadn't made a pitching appearance since 2023 with the Angels."
"Yamamoto is also coming off of an electric season with the Dodgers, placing third in the vote for NL Cy Young in 2025. He took a step up from an already solid rookie season in 2024, posting a 2.49 ERA in 30 starts this season. He led MLB in hits allowed per nine innings with a mark of 5.9, and eclipsed 200 strikeouts for the first time in his career."
Shohei Ohtani returned to pitching in 2025 after Tommy John surgery, making 14 starts for the Dodgers and throwing 47 innings with a 2.87 ERA and 62 strikeouts. Ohtani's 2.87 ERA was the second-best season total of his career; his previous pitching season was 2023 with a 3.14 ERA across 132 innings. Yoshinobu Yamamoto posted a 2.49 ERA in 30 starts in 2025, led MLB with 5.9 hits allowed per nine innings, and surpassed 200 strikeouts. Yamamoto finished third in NL Cy Young voting and produced a dominant postseason, allowing six earned runs in 37.1 innings across six appearances.
