Sure, Yamamoto’s contract is enormous, but he’s won the Sawamura Award, the NPB’s equivalent of the Cy Young Award, and the MVP for three consecutive years. At just 25 years old, he still has many good years ahead of him. If he can fully adapt to MLB, he could dominate here too.🗻👏
Patience! This is his first season in a new country, different thinking, food, air, water, culture, mentality, language he can’t understand..continental travel with time zones..new batters to get to know..! Give him little space. He’ll figure it out! Even if his first season isn’t perfect his second season, he’ll be 26 years old (only) he will get in rhythm 🎵
Adjust quickly, can also mean crumble quickly as there is no foundation build up..more like a novelty pitcher but nobody knows, even the pitcher himself don’t know what makes it work..
@@holidayarmadillo8653 - I asked a question. I’m not “tearing [someone] down.” For some reason, you saw it that way. Also, you said that Imanaga is “given more opportunity.” How so? Both pitchers are starters. The Dodgers have not skipped any of Yamamoto’s starts. They also altered the rotation so he gets the same amount of rest as he did in Japan.

he'll definitely get better. I can't wait for him to be at his prime and say to the haters "you guys were so wrong"

@@mirikaku5811 Also a diff strike zone in US.
He is a very talented pitcher well deserved for him
Those Japanese pitchers are nasty
His location Is elite and omg his curveball is unhittable
Yoshi is showing why he’s paid the big bucks. He’s lights out! ⚡️🔥
1:14 That organ-player is a legend. 😂
The organist, Dieter Ruehle, is a very different person to most other organists IMO, very cool guy.
I can't wait to see this guy after his rookie season. He's only 25 with so much growth opportunity.
💙 just wait till Yoshi gets really settled into MLB 👈😎
YOSHINOBU YAMAMOTO🇯🇵
Some nasty looking pitches
damn everyone was hating on yamamoto after 1 game now its kinda quiet
haven't liked a pitcher this much since greg maddux
He puts crazy juice on those pitches impossible to hit
The fact that this guy has shut down the Dbacks and Christian Walker who is 0 for 6, shows how he's heavily missed right now
1:28 nice
Nice!!!
People saying he's paid too much, just mad their team didn't do the same. Im not a dodgers fan. Same can be said for ohtani.
I’m wondering how Shota Imanaga adjusted so quickly and impressively, right out of the gate?
Adjust quickly, can also mean crumble quickly as there is no foundation build up..more like a novelty pitcher but nobody knows, even the pitcher himself don’t know what makes it work..
He’s 5 years older and given more opportunity also on the team he’s on vs Yamamoto on the dodgers
They are both amazing players though. There is no need to tear down one for the sake of another. We can appreciate both! 🙌🏽

I think he is a descendant of Admiral Yamamoto

Shota Imanaga Rookie of the Year 2024 NL
🤣 imanaga got ROCKED the other day
30 year old being a ROY doesn’t feel right. 😕
Too early ,it’s just May now.
@@Mr1stcat yeah, after not pitching for 11 days. one bad start, he'll be fine.
I guess they don't know the meaning of magnificent.
just 25 years old
Huge yoshi fan. But interesting they posted this video after getting cooked last week
UnkoPuripuri
Filthy splitter. Super late movement. Looks like a fastball up to the last second.
Largest bad debt in history yamamoto
😂😂😂😂
overrated
First year here and only ,25 years. Quit hating, he is great. Only gonna get better
Bro he’s mid
I mean since the opener he's had a 2.38 ERA, I really don't think that's mid. But being only 25, I think he'll be even better the following seasons.
He’s definitely not mid 😂.
First. ❤
just patient now
Not good at all. His ability is not like this.
Not good? Since the opener which was his first MLB game, he's had a 2.38 ERA. He's good and he's only 25, in his prime he'll be even better.
@@XxXDestroyer There are too many critical hits! Not like him.
What's up with AZ ? They're playing like 💩
