Appears Yamamoto last year in Japan 23 appearances 16 and six facing seon and his first pitch is popped up down the right field side that’ll be foul and strike one well where do you begin I mean this guy is perhaps the most decorated pitcher to come out of Japan and quite quite
Sometime little number foul Third Base side facing semian who was a World Series hero last year had a home run in the ninth inning of game five in the series Clincher but Yamamoto he pitched in the Japan Series last year struck out 14 in game six
After getting touched up in game one he came back and pitched very strongly but his team the orex buffalos would end up losing to the hin Tigers in seven games here’s the two strike pitch and Simeon takes Loan in well what are we looking for well the
First thing is you look at it rather simplified and yet repeatable delivery one thing I’ve already noticed when he comes set looking in for the Sign Center Field camera I could tell the previous pitch before this one we see here it was a splitter why you can see it in the glove
And swinging a Miss throws a fast ball right by Marcus Simeon he’s got some ginea up on that heater what Dave Roberts is talking about electric fast ball one down kamoto also one of the few pitchers in baseball I remember seeing Works off the middle of the pitching slam not off a corner
Evan Carter drills one to center field that’s going to get down for a hit one hop to the center fielder Drew Avis and Tim the reason one of the reasons I talked about from the center field camera at least in the windup we’ll be able to see it in
The stretch you can see the grip on the baseball well that’s one of the rules that baseball has now is that look you can no longer use electronic devices to get signs or signals or pitches in in The Dugout out of the stretch for the first time is Yamamoto facing Wyatt
Langford Langford takes a healthy cut and misses lford that kind of had some armide run came inside to him L for talk about going up the ladder in a hurry he made two stops in rookie bow each one elevated they went to double a then Triple A Yamamoto pumps in another
Strike Yamamoto also just noticing he’s not going to give up very many Sten bases he does not take a lot of time he comes out of the stretch position first base side of the rubber he stretches now slide steps home and the ball hit down to third backhanded by
Mon he goes to second one Taylor the turn that’s in around the horn in ending double play a good debut first inning for Yamamoto no score we head to the second inning would inquiring minds want to know during a regular season there is a ban on using electronic devices but
We’ve been able to see a sneak preview couple of pitches we’ve been able to call Jonah Heim the catcher Nathaniel low rather first base and the grip on that curveball was different yeah it’s a real 126 curveball it’ll drop oh there you go low just no chance at that one
That ball disappeared on him more than anything else in the pregame show we’re talking about well movement of the baseball now track this you can see in the glove this is the splitter and all of a sudden disappears now Jonah lifts this one in the air to left field Vargas
Back and camped out underneath it makes the catch to down well tell you what he’s done nothing but throw strikes I mean it’s incredible first pitch strikes batter after batter think about this over seven years he had a record of 70 and 29 and a 1 182 erra
Leot Taris a switch hitter batting left against Yamamoto a five-time Allstar in Japan three times he was the Pacific League MVP three times he won the sarm mo award that’s the equivalent of the sign Young Award three times he was voted to the best nine over
There and three times he won a gold glove so that’s a good note as well the fact that he won a gold glove three times he defends his position he’s got two career no hitters his last one came on the 23rd of September of last season against the Against The chibal Latte
Marines his first one was against the Sabu lions in June of 22 and in game six of the the Japan Series last year struck out 14 there’s a splitter that’s just filthy as Tavarez strikes out three strikeouts for Yamamoto he’s faced six men through two innings but that second
Inning Mo went so fast I’m not sure he knew how many outs there were when he got his last strike out he was having so much fun he said thinking well I I’ll go ahead and get another round oh wait a minute well Tomy said hey that’s three outs
