In 2025, Yoshinobu Yamamoto solidifies his status as the ace of the Los Angeles Dodgers, showcasing impressive performances in his four starts with a remarkable 1.23 ERA over 22 innings. His latest outing against the Chicago Cubs further cements this reputation as he pitched six scoreless innings, helping secure a 3-0 win. Yamamoto has expressed interest in winning the NL Cy Young Award and aims to improve as he continues his second year with the team, receiving high praise from teammates like Tommy Edman for his dominant performances.
"I've heard no Japanese pitcher has won it yet, so I'm awfully interested in it. I think that concentrating on each and every game and performing at my best is what will lead to a wonderful award like that, so I'd like to do my best every day."
"He's unreal. He's been dominant pretty much the whole season. I'm just kind of in awe for how well he executes. He's just lights out and he's been our best pitcher this year."
