"Yamamoto was a huge addition to the Dodgers organization, signing a generous contract in 2023. He was locked up on a 12-year, $325 million contract. He's thrown 263 and 2/3 regular-season innings since the signing, with 48 games started and a 19-10 win-loss record. Yamamoto owns a 2.66 ERA with a .166 batting average against and a .103 WHIP. In 2025, the Dodgers starter went 12-8 with a 2.49 ERA in 173 and 2/3 innings pitched; batters hit .183 against him."
"Yamamoto is deep within his pitch arsenal; he has seven very crafty pitch options. He has a four-seam fastball, followed by his second-most-used off-speed option, the splitter, at 25.4% usage. He also throws a curveball, cutter, sinker, slider, and an occasional sweeper, which is rarely used. The fastball, splitter, and curveball are the go-to half of his pitch palette. He has a 20%-plus put-away rate with this bunch."
