Yoshinobu Yamamoto's adjustment between his disastrous first playoff start against the Padres and his good NLDS game five start demonstrates his growth and the Dodgers' path to victory.
Yamamoto showed resilience by limiting damage on balls in play during NLDS game five, and despite the deeper numbers not being stellar, he kept the Dodgers competitive.
The Dodgers suspected Yamamoto was tipping pitches after his first game, and adjustments to his mechanics with runners on base may have contributed to his improved performance.
After game one, Dave Roberts highlighted concerns about Yamamoto revealing pitches to runners on second, leading to changes in his glove positioning to mitigate this risk.
