"Yoshinobu Yamamato was named 2025 World Series MVP for his contributions against the Toronto Blue Jays that helped the Los Angeles Dodgers repeat as champions. The right-hander posted a 1.02 ERA and 0.68 WHIP with 15 strikeouts against two walks in 17.2 innings across three appearances (two starts). Yamamoto went the distance in Game 2 and then earned the win in two consecutive elimination matchups at Rogers Centre."
"He tossed 2.2 scoreless frames out of the bullpen in the winner-take-all Game 7 just one day after throwing six innings. Yamamoto's efforts were nothing short of heroic, and Dodgers manager Dave Roberts compared them to those of Walker Buehler against the New York Yankees in the 2024 World Series. "Yeah, similarities," Roberts said. "Walker is obviously in Dodger lore, and Yoshi put himself right there with him, you know, throwing 100 pitches and come back without a day off and going three innings. It's pretty crazy."
