Japanese pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto (27, LA Dodgers) has a serious pace.

Yamamoto started the away game of the Atlanta Braves at Truist Park in Georgia on the 3rd (Korea time), and led the Atlanta Braves to a 2-1 victory with one hit and six strikeouts in six innings. Yamamoto, who tied the Atlanta lineup with a no-hitter until the bottom of the sixth inning with two outs, dropped his ERA to 0.90 (1.06 before the game) as he harvested his fourth win of the season (two losses). Yamamoto is the only one with an ERA of 0 points in the Major League Baseball (MLB) as of the 3rd.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said after the game, "I was thinking about No-Hitter for a moment, but Austin Riley (who had Atlanta's first hit) changed his mind." Yamamoto was replaced by Kirby Yates after the sixth inning. He could afford to throw 91 pitches (60 strikes), but he did not overdo himself considering his next appearance. The maximum speed of four-seam fastballs was 96.4 miles (155.1 kilometers/h). The most powerful pitches were doubled by splitters (29) who threw more than four-seam (27). "I regained my original form," he said, "I wasn't sharp last time, but I got my control back today and the splitter was really good." 안전놀이터

The MLB.COM website also highlighted Yamamoto's past by saying, "Yamamoto played 897 innings in the Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB), recording 70 wins and 29 losses with a 1.82 ERA and 0.935 WHIP." Yamamoto said, "I was able to display a high level of performance (in the MLB). I feel like I am really close to my best days in Japan."

Yamamoto, who has become the NPB's best pitcher, surprised the public by signing a 12-year, $325 million (455.8 billion won) contract with the Dodgers in December 2023. The highest pay ever for a pitcher in MLB history (based on total value), which exceeded Garrett Cole's nine-year, total of $324 million (454.4 billion won). Last year, the first season of MLB's challenge, he remained at seven wins, two losses and an earned run average of 3.00 in 18 games due to sluggish performances and injuries. However, he got off to a different start in his second year. Referring to Hideo Nomo (123 wins in total), who recorded the most wins for a Japanese pitcher in MLB history, MLB.COM said, "Yamamoto, who is in the second year of his 12-year contract with the Dodgers, currently has 11 wins," adding, "If he continues to throw the ball like now, there is a possibility that he will challenge Nomo's record."
