"Yoshinobu Yamamoto earned World Series MVP honors after going a perfect 3-0 with a 1.02 ERA and 0.68 WHIP with 15 strikeouts against two walks in 17.2 innings pitched against the Toronto Blue Jays. He went the distance in Game 2 before picking up wins in back-to-back elimination contests on the road. Blake Snell, Tyler Glasnow and Shohei Ohtani also had success at various points throughout October to help the Dodgers win their ninth World Series title in franchise history."
""It was a phenomenal World Series to watch as a baseball fan. Just to see the back and forth, teams winning two each on the road. The Dodgers down, needed to win two to win, and take it to seven, and as entertaining as that was. And the pitching was ridiculous. I feel like the last few years watching the playoffs, it's been short leashes for the starters. You see Yamamoto go CG, Snell go eight. That's what you want as a starter.""
The Los Angeles Dodgers became the first team in 25 years to repeat as World Series champions. The starting rotation delivered dominant postseason performances that drove the title run. Yoshinobu Yamamoto earned World Series MVP after going 3-0 with a 1.02 ERA, 0.68 WHIP, 15 strikeouts and two walks in 17.2 innings, including complete games and elimination-game wins on the road. Blake Snell, Tyler Glasnow and Shohei Ohtani provided additional starting pitching contributions. Dodgers starters threw at least six innings in 12 of 17 playoff games, reversing a recent trend of short postseason leashes. Ryan Pepiot praised the rotation and called his trade to Tampa Bay a positive development after a career year.
