Yoshinobu Yamamoto demonstrated marked improvement during a bullpen session at Dodgers spring training, impressing Manager Dave Roberts with his enhanced command and delivery. He is expected to be the Opening Day starter against the Cubs in Tokyo, aiming to perform better than last year's opening series where he struggled. Yamamoto reflects on learning from previous experiences, stating that these lessons will help him succeed in his sophomore season. He is also focusing on building rapport with new teammates while preparing for the upcoming season.
Yamamoto is considerably ahead of where he was last year. And every time he throws a baseball, he's getting better. The command, the delivery is just really good.
I learned a lot from all the experiences last year. That kind of helped me to adjust to what I was doing before, and what I needed to do to be successful.
This is my second year, so it's a little more comfortable. I like to enjoy the new guys this one month through spring training and then get my game ready.
