YamaWOAHto! 😳 Coming off Pitcher of the Month win, Yamamoto tosses another GEM 💎 | 山本由伸ハイライト
Now we’re going to take a look at who’s been getting it done in tonight’s game presented by the Home Depot. Shinobi Yamamoto that applies to him so far in 2025. Chop it right back to him and Yama feels his position so well. We see it time and again. There’s out number one. Yats three. Excellent pitch right on the bottom part of the zone. Again, that’s really a result of getting ahead first with that fast ball, dropping that curve ball. And then that’s the putaway pitch. Heads up line drive into Muki Betts’s glove and he got it before he hit the dirt. Buzzed the tower of Yamamoto, but he’s all right. Scoreless first inning in Atlanta. Starting with Shawn Murphy. A line drive right back to Yamamoto. That’s how the last inning ended. That’s how the second inning starts. Goodness gracious. They’re hitting it hard. Right back at the Dodgers ace. Yeah. Came off the bat at 106 m an hour. And fortunately for Yamamoto, he had his glove up there. Whoa. The bat goes flying and then ends up in the first base coaches box. An emphatic strike out for Yamamoto. Slow it down. Yeah, that’s the curveball again. And so, so far this game, he’s had 11 swing and misses. No, I’m sorry. 11 swings. Three swing and misses. All on the curve ball. Tap her right back to him. Sean White, who’s a three-time Golden Glove Award winner in the Pacific League. Another good option to throw that splitter again. doubles up, gets a ground ball to the right side, diving stop Freeman. Yamamoto steps on the bag. Nice job by Freddy. Even better for him to get the ball out of his glove and get it to Yamamoto as he gets to first base. Nice job there by Freddy. Good body control. Got him. Third punch out for Yamamoto. Two gone in the third inning. Mark react like that. There you go, EK. Three pitches, three strikes, back-to-back punch outs for Yamamoto. Cap third. Austin Riley to center field. PZ has a good read on it. I mean, I think the the Braves are making a conscious effort just to not swing at him. Elevates and gets a swing and a miss for his fifth strike out of the game. Two gone in the fourth. Here he goes out of the zone with a four seamer. Enticing enough for Olsson to swing at it. But, you know, we just talked about the splitter again. that that should be and probably is a conscious game plan by the entire offense. We’re not swinging at it. We are just not going to offer at it. That’s strike three painted perfectly in the inside corner. Six Ks in four shut out innings for Yamamoto. Another 2-2 tap to third. Good throw from Muny. Another 02. Harris flies one to left field. Conform over to make the catch. Two gone. Popped to shallow right. Rojos going back. Teoskar coming in. Teao takes the ball. Another one, two, three inning for Yoshino Yamamoto. No runs and no hits and no errors for the Atlanta offense. Yamamoto’s 2-1 to Allen, the number nine hitter. Ground ball to second. Rojos makes the play. You know, that being said, like I don’t think we should be surprised by this and we shouldn’t be, wow, he’s throwing another great game. you know, you are looking at the reason there’s a reason why he is the highest paid pitcher in all of Major League Baseball is because he is an elite talent and this is really the first year where he can just come over and play baseball. Chop to Freeman who fields it to Yamamoto. Two gone in the sixth. Yamamoto’s eighth pitch is grounded to Muny at third. Shuffles and throws and Riley is stranded. So, the third baseman for the Braves breaks up Yamamoto’s no hitter bid, but six shut out in the books.
Los Angeles Dodgers starter Yoshinobu Yamamoto allows just one hit and strikes out six batters through six scoreless innings in his start against the Atlanta Braves on May 2, 2025.
