The Los Angeles Dodgers were left amazed after Japanese pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto took batting practice with the team. MLB.com reported on the surprising turn of events, as Yamamoto showcased his skills on the field.
Yamamoto had previously made headlines by choosing the Dodgers over the New York Yankees and Mets, as explained by Fansided. His decision to join the Dodgers has generated a lot of excitement among fans and the team itself.
In a session of live batting practice, Yamamoto left star player Freddie Freeman unable to contain his excitement, according to Al Bat. The pitcher’s electrifying repertoire was on full display, as noted by Meridiano, along with a video showcasing his talent.
With the recent addition of Shohei Ohtani and now Yamamoto, speculation has arisen about whether the Dodgers will be able to achieve the championship with such heavy investments. USA Brand is poised to publish an analysis on the impact of these acquisitions on the team’s prospects for success.
