Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s HOT START 🔥🔥🔥 (Yamamoto Ks 3) 

Is the first time in my life that I'm watching spring trainings, baseball is going to a whole new level.

This is a reason why assistant GM Ohtani went out of his way to recruit him.😁

His seven-year career stats in Japan are absolutely insane.

私はアメリカ人だが、試合会場で多くの日本人ファンを見るのは素晴らしいことだ。日本のファンがもたらすエネルギーは素晴らしく、私たちアメリカ人が見習うべきものだ。今シーズン、山本のピッチングを見るのが楽しみだ。

Love the Ohtani and Yamamoto duo. I'm traveling across country to see them this summer.

First time in my life watching spring trainings. It's freaking wonderful to be a Dodgers Fans!!!

People will look at the splits Yamamoto and Senga throw and wonder why they swing their bats for pitches like that. But you'll know when you actually stand in the batter's box. The trajectory looks like it's straight, but it falls like crazy.

Yamamoto and Senga starts are some of the best baseball. Japan has won me over with their talent.

His delivery is one of the most effortless I’ve seen. That Japanese discipline is apparent in every movement

His windup looks so simple and smooth

One of the reasons Yamamoto is number one in Japan is that he is strong in a pinch and under pressure, never disruptive. He has a sense of stability.

There’s something that I love about his mechanics ❤😮😮 the way he goes down the mound it’s amazing and consistent.

He is the masterpiece of Japanese baseball last decades MLB will be surprised more than now soon

i was on the same junior highschool team as this man. so glad to see where he has made it too. so proud. yoshi sugoi desu

This is why I love sports. No matter who you are or where you're from, if you are good, you can play. This guy is insane!

Good boy Shohei. One cup to hold the sunflowers seeds (with shell) and a second cup to spit the shells.

I could watch that delivery all day long…it has a very old school look to it with explosive power, what a breath of fresh air

The Japanese in blue are on fire 🔥 can’t wait to see them in action for the regular season

We knew Ohtani would be Ohtani, so I was honestly more hyped to see what this guy would do in Dodger blue, and he did not disappoint. It may have been a short outing, but it was filled with greatness. I'm excited to see more of that from him. On a side note, I loved watching him and Ohtani interact in the dugout. I still can't believe that they are both Dodgers, but now that I've seen them together in the dugout, it's finally settling in. I can't wait for the start of the season. 行けドジャース！

刺すようなストレートから緩いカーブの緩急がたまんない

Ohtani Yamamoto combo, that’s crazy 👌

Man beautiful pitches, still 25 years old, awesome

First Actual Start - 1 IP, 4 H, 5 R, 45.00 ERA. But let’s drool over spring training.

大谷翔平と山本由伸が同じチームにいるの凄いなほんとに 今シーズン試合見るの楽しみすぎる、ドジャースありがとう

Thanks a million ♡ MLB

I loved that delivery during the second inning, he’s definitely gonna be a batter’s nightmare to face off soon

This 2024 Season in MLB is going to be amazing 👏🔥⚾

Yes Sir!! Great debut! I haven't experienced this kind of excitement for baseball ever.

I ain’t a dodgers fan but I like to root for foreign players especially the ones that come overseas.

Due respect to Ohtani. This is the guy I wanted to see.

My favorite pitcher

From a Orix fan, I’m so happy to see him out here playing. Go get it Yamamoto! 👍

Yamamoto is the best pitcher of Japanese in history so I believe he will be success surely.

As a Japanese baseball fan, he’s not top condition yet. His command will be better, and his breaking ball will get nastier.

This year we will see Ohtani's MVP, Yamamoto's Cy Young, and the Dodgers winning the World Series.😮

This is why we need more attention to wbc, why do we call it a world series when its just one nation? I love it that quality baseball is not just an American thing but a world wide passion

His stability or consistency because of his pitching form is outstanding.

今日は2イングだけだったが相変わらず安定してるわぁ　安心して見ていられる

He is really good!!!

Yamamoto may achieve a no-hitter this season. Rookie of the Year, of course. There's also a possibility of winning the Cy Young Award.

山本選手おつかれさまでした😌 投球はもちろん集中力がすばらしい👏 18のユニフォームを着た現地ファンが増えたら嬉しいな💙

Welcome to the big league yoshi🎉🎉🎉

Dodger haters want him and Ohtani to fail so hard, it’s just sad. Real baseball fans always appreciate good baseball

Dodgers are gonna be so much fun to watch this year

I’m traveling across the earth to see Shohei and Yoshinobu this summer.

nomo will always be my fav dodgers pitcher!

Amazing amazing AMAZING!

I'm so glad baseball is back . The future is bright

History is being made as Dodgers get Ohtani and Yamamoto. I’ve never enjoyed watching two players from Japan until now 👏🏼

Yup that’s all I needed to see. Have fun trying to square that up

えげつないストレート

i forgot he's just 25 years old. i really thought he's older than that but hey it''s a good start and i hope to see better games from him

Rangers fan, so I was watching yesterday. What got me was that the Dodger's announcers acted like he was new to pitching or new to baseball. One of the announcers made a huge deal because he checked out the batting reports on the next batters he would be facing. The man is an experienced pitcher; of course he would educate himself about the batters.

Wow! looks great already...

yeah im gonna watch every start this guy gets

Wow 💯 What a great start !

his windup is literally a straight line to the plate and so smooth and simple. Man, I’m excited to watch him this year

This guy is awesome

流石ヤマモロ

MY GOAT 🐐 ❤ He will get even better.

Looking nice early. Expecting nothing but looking more polished and comfortable once the season starts

His command is just absolutely incredible, his pitches are straight precision and then when he throws that splitter it just dives so fast into the dirt the batters just don't expect it

初見の山本の球をここまで普通に当ててくるメジャーもやっぱヤバいな

Only time will tell how good this guy really is…

Legend ❤

한국인이지만 야마모토 응원한다 아시아를 넘어 전세계최고투수가 될것임 신인왕과동시에 사이영상 기대합니다

山本 加油!!!! 你是最棒的!!!

i don't even watch baseball but here i am

As a Japanese, we are all cheering for the Dodgers! Let's go Yamamoto, Ohtani, and the Dodgers! Win World Series!

Where are all those people now saying: he hasnt faced any real hitters. Plz shut up and enjoy the talent

To me it's interesting. His windup and delivery suggest to me most of his velocity is coming from his arm. It appears as though he could add a good 5-10 mph more to his fastball if he'd learn to use his body in a kinesiological like fashion. He's not pushing very hard off the mound, he doesn't bring his leg up very high, his last one or two motions are just all arm... he's obviously already having great success with what he's doing but I wonder if this guy has another gear he didn't even know about.

OK, I may have been wrong. Instead of the 110 victories I have predicted for the Dodgers this year, they may actually win 115 games. 😇

山本由伸の投球フォーム好き

I want a 17/18 Dodgers jersey with both names on it.

Jumped from the Angels bandwagon (don't worry, I'm a new fan from overseas). This season is going to be fun, the team that I'm cheering for will finally get to win.

Aw, you cut him smiling sheepishly at Ohtani 😄

LA loves Yoshi 💙👈😎

Perfect!

Japanese pitchers always have great mechanics but I'm surprised he has 0 leg kick in his windup. Everything is a slide step. He's getting downhill though with a powerful knee block, so it's unique but clearly it works for him.

That's a nasty splitter when batters swing at pitches that are way out of the strike zone.

ナイスピッチ‼️

Amazing pitcher , he dominate on the mound

As a Japanese pro baseball fan, I'm glad to see a detailed mention of last year's Japan Series.

Looks like a ace to me…every New York fans is crying right now😂😂😂

He made the Lineup play golf lmao

Yamamoto and Rick Monday will have a long talk about that ball grip great call by Rick about the center field camera.

This guy is special

完璧に仕上がってるな あとは中4日にさえ適応できれば無双できるな

山本投手にとって輝かしい1年目になりますように！！応援しています！！

Man that arm whiplash is crazy praying this young man has a healthy career honestly 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

His delivery is smooth and effortless. Can't wait to see more YamaMANIA!!!

This is the Dodgers year to win their 8th World Series Championship.

it's a spring training game and the cheers. can't imagine how loud its going to be on opening day with 56,000 fans cheering

5:28 never see Ohtani this mad before.

yamamoto is ready to be the ace of this team 🔥

Will follow the dodgers due to the hype he’s getting so I’m excited to see how it goes for him

Hot start for Yamamoto. ROTY for sure

Pitched like a tighter, more efficient version of Nomo. That slider is nasty!

he didnt even realize😭😭 love this guy already yamamania

アメリカの皆さんへ 山本由伸は日本一のピッチャーです。 日本では彼が1点取られるだけで今日は調子が悪い日だと言われます😂
