Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s 2025 Postseason: 2 complete games, 1.57 ERA, 26 strikeouts 😱🍿 | 山本由伸ハイライト

Yoshino Yamamoto on the mound. Certainly a Sai Young candidate. Second year in the major leagues and he’s put together a sensational season including his finish to the year. What a September he put together. Padres’s made the postseason more games under 500 later in the year. 3-2 swing and a miss. Struck him out. But Yamamoto locks up de la Cruz working with Ben Wart. Swing and a miss. Struck him out. A heater at 96. And strikeout number two for Yamamoto with so many different looks. And this is one where he goes with the elevated fast ball anticipating the splitter, at least what Stevenson was was anticipating. And then he’s able to get that elevation with velocity and everybody just late at that point. Swing and a miss. Yamamoto gets the strike out and one, two, three go the Reds. The right-hander bounces back. It’s two nothing Cincinnati. Swing and a miss. Struck him out. And Yamamoto has struck out four. And there’s two down. Yeah, I think to finish up on Francona and Mills, there’s a consistency to the process and as you take a look at Yamamoto just so graceful and overpowering steer. Yeah, indeed. It could be the curve. It could be the splitter. 97 on both sides. He has such good command on all quadrants of the strike zone. Swing and a miss and a curve ball gets strikeout number five. But Joe mentions Daryl Strawberry. Can you think of other 18s, other great 18s? The one two is cut on and foul tipped into the mid of Rorvette and he struck him out. Yamamoto in control. He is set down 13 straight. Yamamoto ready to work. One and two on Stewart. Bases loaded, one out. Swing and a miss. He struck him out. Huge strike out for Yamamoto. Just look at the sequence on how it’s a game of inches and how he just continually pushes the envelope. Okay, that’s setting up in. Goes down and away. Gets the chase and then look right on the black and then he’s like, “Okay, keep expanding.” He slowed it down. He changed the shape. He gave the distance and he put it right where he wanted it. Bases loaded, two down. Dodgers by a run. Yamamoto swing and a miss. He struck him out. Yoshov Yamamoto escapes a bases loaded. No out jam. And the Reds leave the sacks packed. We’re midway in the six. It’s 3-2. Dodgers lead 72. Breaking ball outside corner. Ring them up and it is strikeout number nine for Yoshobu Yamamoto. You know, once again, the location. I mean, this is ridiculous. Look where the glove is. It just you just put it there. And there he is. Yoshi Yamamoto. Frenchie. He was already a star in Japan when he arrived here last year. He spent a lot of time on the injured list last season. 30 starts is the biggest number for him this season. Phillies decked out in their powder blues as Turner drops a buck down right back to Yamamoto and that’s how game three starts. That was in the World Series of 83 as Schwarber on the first pitch bounces one over to Freeman and Yamamono’s been involved in both outs to start this game hoping this is not his last game as a Philadelphia Philly. And a swing and a miss. Slider from Yamamoto. He strikes out JT Real Muto. And it’s two away here in the second inning. You see 3-2 right here. So that ball. Look at that slider. That’s like his fourth or fifth best pitch. Tight sliders. Castanos at an 02 count. And Yavamono rings the bell. Fast ball on the corner. Chris Carpenter for St. Louis against the Phillies. Broken bat. Yell a little roller over to Muny and he’ll make the play. Three ground ball outs. Yamamoto settles in but not before some fireworks to start it and called. Strike three. Stuck the fast ball right by him. Bowers one hopper to Mookie Betts and he makes a play that’ll end the inning. And that is something they normally do quite a bit from everybody in their lineup as Cheurio cuts and misses and Yamamoto wipes him out. Well, he’s done a great job of using his fastball with two strikes. He got Durban to look at one on the outside corner and Churiel swings through one on the inside corner. 02 pitch line shot right at Betts. Hit it like a bullet but right at the Dodgers shortstop and Yamamoto puts up another zero. He won the pitching triple crown three times as well as he strikes out Christian Yelich. 02 two outs on Durban with Sal Freick at first base and he got him back to the splitter he goes and he strikes out Caleb Durban. Inning is over. Strands a runner at first. One ball, two strikes. Ortiz takes off and the pitch is a called strike three. No throw needed. Yamamono drops a big curve on Bryce Terang. The inning is over and it’s still two to one Dodgers after five. Another one, two and Vaughn right to my soft liner in a one, two, three inning. Yoshi Yamamoto dialed in, efficient, and he’s got the Dodgers in front. Three to one in game two. Cliche because it’s true. Bowers roll over, ground ball. Tommy Edmund scoops it, makes the play, and Yamamoto carries on, puts up another zero. He’s retired eight straight, and we go to the eighth with the Dodgers up four to one in game two. First half bat for Collins here. Pinch hitting for Joey Ortiz. And a called strike three right on the edge. Impeccable command all night long. Yamamoto with his sixth strikeout. This four seam fast ball started in the middle and moved right to that corner. No sink, just drifted straight across home plate right to that outside corner. His arms built up. If it was two to three to one, I think, but you might be right. You might see someone else. On the ground, Edmond backhands it and makes the play and Yamamoto breezes through the eighth. Will he come back out for the ninth? What a performance. Been in the wind up. Been in control the whole way. Two and two. And Contrarus Skies one to center. Dean settles under it. And there is out number one. Yamaboto had a shoulder injury last year. He missed three months on the injured list. Came back was ready for the postseason. There’s a chopper to Yamamoto. He’s got it. And the Dodgers are an out away from a two nothing advantage in this best of seven series. [Applause] Here he comes the O2 and a swing and a miss. And Yoshi Yamamoto with his crown jewel as a Dodger. It is a complete game. He goes the distance and the Dodgers win game two by a score of five to one. Yoshino Yamamoto is second in the National League behind Paul Skins with a 249 during the regular season and after his complete game against the Brewers 183 in the postseason. Yeah, good luck trying to eliminate one of these pitchers. They’re all good and the Blue Jays have never seen him really. Another two- two curve gets him swinging. Just the fourth strike out of the playoffs of Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to first and caught by Freeman on the fly. Both runners back to the bag and a chance for Yamamoto to get out of this unscathed. There it goes. It’s a curve that falls in for strike three and Vo like a house by the side of the road watches it. And the Jays watch a scoring opportunity in this first inning slip through their fingertips. Strike three called on Barger. Fast ball in there at the knees. Down this time on the high fast ball. Fourth K for Yamamoto. The curve gets him to wave and miss. Yoshi Nou Yamamoto with his fifth strike out of the game against this deadly Toronto offense. Fouled into the glove. Strike three. Strikes out Springer with a fast ball. That thing blazing to the top of the zone. Yamamoto seven. is one two to Lucas fast the knees to get him looking. He strikes out the side in the eighth. Something special brewing here for Yoshobu Yamamoto trying to join the likes of Oral Hershiser to deal backto-back complete game wins in the postseason. Curve off the end of the bat. Freeman to first. One away in the ninth. Kirk sends a line drive to center field. Justin Dean is there. Two gone in the ninth. Well, we’ve mentioned it several times. It would have been almost a decade since anybody had pitched a complete game in the postseason. Yamamoto an out away from doing it backto back starts. The one-two pitch popped up left side. Yamamoto goes the distance again. World Series mastery. Yoshu Yamamoto. Game two of the World Series against the Blue Jays has thrown a complete game, retiring the final 20 that he faces. is whatever.

Yoshinobu Yamamoto has had a DAZZLING Postseason with the Los Angeles Dodgers! He pitched TWO complete back-to-back games, put up an ERA of 1.57, collected 26 strikeouts across 28.2 innings and allowed just five earned runs across four starts in his 2025 performance!
