"Yoshinobu Yamamoto was named the 2025 World Series most valuable player after appearing in three Fall Classic games for the Los Angeles Dodgers, including the deciding Game 7 on no days of rest. Yamamoto pitched 17.2 innings in his three games for the Dodgers, going 3-0 while allowing just two runs on nine hits with 15 strikeouts and two walks. Overall in the postseason, he pitched to a 1.45 ERA in 37.1 innings with 33 strikeouts and a 0.78 WHIP."
"Yamamoto pitched Game 2 against the Blue Jays and gave the Dodgers a complete game with nine innings of one-run ball to earn the win. He allowed just four hits, struck out eight and walked no one. It was the second consecutive game Yamamoto tossed a complete game in the postseason after he also gave the Dodgers nine innings and just one run allowed in Game 2 of the National League Championship Series against the Milwaukee Brewers."
"Yamamoto came back in a must-win Game 6 while the Dodgers were down 3-2 in the series, and led them to another win. This time he went six innings while allowing one run on five hits with six strikeouts and one walk. After Game 6, the 27-year-old said he would be available in Game 7 if called upon, and that ended up being the case as he entered on no days of rest after throwing 96 pitches."
