This is Yamamoto's 3rd start with a shutout. Besides the first game in Korea he has pitched really well. He's still getting adjusted to the league in his first season in MLB.
What I seen of Yamamoto is a sign of a great pitcher. He has great movement command in his pitches and works the stike zone, alot of pitchers has good stuff or just throws hard but don't know how to paint and work the corner's of the strikezone. Yamamoto paints it like an artist.

I agree, ever since the last game with the Mets the bullpen has been stepping up. It was nice today to see a more poised Phillips on the mound with command on his pitches, and attacking batters. That is the attitude you need as a pitcher.
Yamamoto is a great pitcher like Greg Maddox instead of a hard thrower with heat like Randy Johnson. Yoshi's movement on his pitches and commmand especially on his spliter is incredible.
Today's Yoshinobu Yamamoto was helped by catcher Austin Barnes' framing technique. It felt like Since he is compatible with this catcher, I would like him to be a dedicated catcher to Yoshinobu Yamamoto like Clayton Kershaw
It’s good to see his gradual improvement. I was hoping he would make it into the 7th but he ran into some trouble in the 6th, making extra pitches. I’m really curious how he does against the more elite NL teams like the Braves, Phillies and Brewers.
People saying he needs to pitch better than Gerrit Cole is absurd. Cole hasn't even pitched this season like come on. Give Yama some time to dominate. Why are we baseball fans worried when his own teammates believes he will do great.
On a Twelve year contract he has time but he is showing signs of brilliance already. Personally I was expecting him to struggle for at least a couple of months but I don’t believe he will be struggling after today, he is clearly getting more confident and that is bad news for anyone that picks up a bat.
He’s a great player he’s definitely going to be a big star! Not only that he’s only 25 he has a lot of time to cultivate that talent even more, plus his pitches are fantastic!
I had a flashback of Masahiro Tanaka of the 2020 Yankees being hit in the head by a 112 mph (approximately 180 km/h) liner (straight line ball) during a practice session and collapsing. Yoshinobu Yamamoto caught a similar ball and was lucky that it didn't lead to anything serious
6 IP, 0 R, 7 K, 4 H, 1 BB Even though the opponent was the weak Nationals, Yamamoto pitched well. He tends to get a lot of attention because he signed a bigger contract than even Gerrit Cole, but people forget that he is only 25 and in his MLB rookie year.🗻👏
Dumb ignorant people wants him to go straight and be an ace just because of his contract, people don’t take a look at what he had to go through and all the adjustments he has to make!!! He’s gonna be fine and next year when Dodgers sign Sasaki, this teams gonna be on fire 🔥!!!
I think he'll be an ace by the end of this year. Considering he is still adjusting and not at 100% and he had a 45 ERA after 1 game and he's already down to the mid 3s.
It's the placement of his fast ball. His issue was he was throwing it as first pitch and down the middle. Now that it's no longer his first pitch 80% of the time and he is going away with it everything changed
On a Japanese broadcast, a baseball commentator said that he still hasn't shown his true potential in NPB, even in today's game. He said he would be more surprised if he could show his true potential. I haven't changed much in detail.
Great performance by Yamamoto, and the crazy part is the Dodgers are favored to pickup Roki Sasaki too. Glasnow, Buehler, Kershaw, Yamamoto, and Sasaki would be insane
@@oraora5410 yes I agree Otani but Dodgers must thing of his longevity, and not introduce him to quick as a starter. Next year imo he should be either be a setup or closer, and sometimes start a bullpen game. Then half way if his arm feels good, then move him as a starter
Dear WSH Nationals audience, you folks are always so nice and welcoming people, no matter what team you support! Huge thanks and love from Japan :) 🇯🇵🇺🇸
@@honganshaw3419Yeah, even Meneses didn't know it either and if this highlight is from 10 years ago when they didn't have a strike zone on screen we wouldn't know either
I'm sure there are plenty of pitchers in the history of baseball who've struck out 7 or more in their second start. I'm sure the MLB has no bias for Yankees of the West.
Its dumb that we don't use VR or AI to exactly call a strike. Too much subjectivity in having a human do it. Its really unfair to batters. The zone should not be subjective. It should be exact.
Only 0:07 was the questionable call. Other two strikeouts were right on the strike zone and it's the right call. The umpire was terrible throughout the game not only Yamamoto, but the Nationals got lucky calls too.
@@mao5787 but it is a much wider issue, at all levels from pro all the way down to little league. you have much subjectivity and wrong call making. probably over the next 5-10 years we'll see some tech do more of the call making. but the umps will still be there. over time the tech will get cheaper so it will work its way down to minor leagues, college, high school, and finally LL
The box on television does not represent the actual or official strike zone. It's a two-dimensional approximation. That box and the umpire's "box" do not overlap completely. And yet Yamamoto manages to paint both like a Michelangelo.
0:47 THAT WAS SOLID SKILL DUDE!!WOW!
When you know martial arts you have faster reflexes!!!
RIGHT?? GEE
i ducked.
He used to be a catcher.
0:47 Yoshinobu Yamamoto defense is MLB's best defense this season
That is an all-time highlight reel catch. I can’t believe his reflexes are that good.

現在のところは、カブスの今永に評価が集まっていますが、
彼もスゴイですが、山本はもっとスゴイです。
NPBでの通算防御率をみても7年でなんと1点台です。
しかも彼はDH制採用のﾊﾟ･リーグでやって来ました。(セ･リーグは今でも投手が打席に入る)
環境に慣れてくれば、相当な働きをしてくれるでしょう!! w

This Kid is going to be Good...Hes got crazy stuff at 75-78mph then rips a fastball at 97....hes right on target throwing strikes.
catching a line drive to the face right after the pitch! Amazing!
That hit back to Yamamoto was inches away from a severe injury.
Yamamoto has incredible stuff especially his splitter 🔥 he's gonna be a dominate pitcher in a year or two.
He's really GOoD!
He just needed time to adjust to the American baseball. He’s about to turn it up 🔥🔥
これぞ侍ですわ
The bullpen has not always performed well this year but today they did a great job.
I agree, ever since the last game with the Mets the bullpen has been stepping up. It was nice today to see a more poised Phillips on the mound with command on his pitches, and attacking batters. That is the attitude you need as a pitcher.

That catch on the line drive right to his face was crazy
A wonderful pitch!!
Barnes transformed Yamamoto into his true style. Mr Barnes good job!
He is even better than Neo in The Matrix. He didn't dodge but caught the bullet.
Jesus, talk about a scare! That line drive to the dome 😱🫣😳
Yamamoto is a great pitcher like Greg Maddox instead of a hard thrower with heat like Randy Johnson. Yoshi's movement on his pitches and commmand especially on his spliter is incredible.
Yup. His command is his selling point. If he can dot the strike zone as he pleases, it's over for the rest of the league. [Plus his splitter.]
His velocity is decent though. He can dial it up to 97, 98
@@ciello___8307 That's pretty damn fast especially since he mixes up his pitches with that splitter to lock hitters up
0:47 These are the reflexes of a samurai!
Whoops...😮😅😊
Great outing by Yamamoto. This is the Yamamoto that the Dodgers wanted. He's starting to get comfortable. Great game.

Let’s go Yamamoto is finally living up to expectations 🎉
It took him some time to adjust, but he's getting there

Yeah, people forgot that last time.😅
Wish the reds had a pitcher like him
The reds cant afford him, so reds is out.

Yamamoto has a lot more bigger years then Cole has. Cole is also fragile and broken down now.
Dude nearly got decapitated in the fifth.
ヤマモロ〜
Yamamoto’s splitter is so nasty. He’s really starting to lock in and it’s gonna be fun watching him blossom into a star.
Edit: Splitter, pardon me.
Drops out of sight !
He doesn’t throw a sinker.
It’s a splitter
thats a splitter
@@Strattbatt Got it now, sorry I got it wrong.
@@ConnorMiller417 you’re good. Either way it’s still nasty
Does that catch automatically give him a Gold Glove award?
If Yamamoto can rectify his fastball, it's over for the rest of the league.
Basically adjusting to the new ball and league. Just give it time.
Amen. People forget he’s only 25, adjusting in a new country, language, and league. What a special talent

can he become bettter than shohei otahni?
Give him an Oscar for that snag!
It's nice to hear the commentator occasionally making an effort to pronounce "Yamamoto" correctly.

Hi. I'm curious. How do you mispronounce _Yamamoto_ ?
It's quite phonetical. 🥶🍟🍼

nice bounce back.

Yup he is getting better. I predict he is going to be excellent next year if he does not get injured
And that comebacker in the 5?Th was spectacular too! They have a team alright!

Yeah but ohtani might be a better pitchers and the dodgers need more aces

最初のストライクは完全にボールだったね。これでリズムに乗れて助かった。
山本…仙人
very generous calls
Yamamoto from Bleach…his zanpakuto is in full display rn. Iykyk haha yeee
That horrible strike call in the 1st is exactly what a Splitter pitcher like Yama can use to bully batters the rest of the game

I truly Believe in Yoshi !
Yamamoto has the GOAT agency
austin barnes. master of framing.
0:07 Worst strike ever.... -.-
That's why people want to use robot to replace the plate umpire.
but i wonder if it could have touched the front part of the zone which we can't tell from this camera angle or from the 2 dimensional zone rectangle.
I'm sure there are plenty of pitchers in the history of baseball who've struck out 7 or more in their second start.
I'm sure the MLB has no bias for Yankees of the West.
Now THAT'S the Yamamoto I remember.
"in second"
a hallucination was seen that looks like "in a second".
I actually made a calculation according to the velocity, less than 0.88 second between he threw and caught that ball.
最高
im rooting for yoshi but how’s that first one strike?!
THE GAME
dang i know he pitched well and it was a well earned win but the ump's strike zone was all over the place
damn yamamoto has that spider sense 0:46

Why not couch let him keep pitching??
He could throw like 120up in Japan for every game.
