In the words of deion sanders " that ball does some shit in the air " failing 7 out of 10 times and still be considered a superstar if you can hit the ball 30% of the time. Imagine if receivers dropped 7 out of 10 passes or missing 7 tackles as a db in the nfl, youd lose your job first day.
Seriously. Wanted this since I was a kid obsessed with true 12/6 curves. Can't tell if its true 12/6 from the off center angle. But I will say, as an espn camera opp, the reason you don't get this angle is because it would be directly in the line of sight of the batters view of the pitcher, disrupting their view of the release point, hence this being at practice
he's been the NPB mvp for the last 3 years. Dodgers are lucky to have him! Will be excited to root for this team as always. TY to ownership and the front office for going all in. They're NOT FINISHED. Also. HELLO TO JAPANESE BASEBALL FANS!
Not really, they spent a shitload of money on a guy who’s never thrown an MLB baseball which is larger than the Japanese ball, he’s also never pitched a game in the United States. They paid a ton of money for a guy who’s not guaranteed to be great over here
@@jamesps7515 I respect your opinion but I have to disagree. You Americans honestly need to learn to humble yourselves. You guys are always discrediting the Japanese Baseball League when your star studded team just lost to who? JAPAN! What I saw from him in the World Baseball Classic was a world class pitcher.
@@o.d.b.5344 And the guy is getting rocked over here so far. All the mlb players have to do is take until he is forced to throw called strikes and not swing at his junk.
Beautiful throwing those pitches off of the fastball, nasty 🤮. 2 different pitches to change speed and the hitters eye level. Throwing off timing beautiful stuff
Imagine facing 6’8 Glasnow then next day facing 5’11 Yamamoto. Then face side lefty 6’5 Ryan Yarbrough. Then 6’2 Bueller. Millet and Sheehan both 6’5. Ohtani 6’4.
@@methodz2850 oh yes he will. It just won’t be as a full time starter. The Dodgers will save Ohtani for post season and as a possible reliever. The Dodgers have: 1. Nick Frasso 2. River Ryan 3. Landon Knack 4. Kyle Hurt All waiting to get their chance. Their debut is supposed to be 2024. Michael Grove debuted in 2023. There is also Gonsolin and May who are on the DL. So the Dodgers have a lot of depth and options to keep both Glasnow and Ohtani sidelined and well rested. Ohtani cannot continue his current pace with both starting pitching and DH. He needs to be used more as relief pitcher and he should learn how to play First Base.
@@methodz2850 you are referring to Ohtani? In case you’re wondering why I’m not overly concerned over this is because Ohtani even stated in an interview that the procedure he had this time was different than the first. The Dodgers wouldn’t sign Ohtani to such a mega deal just to be a DH. Ohtani wants to win World Series titles. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s already learning how to play first base. He was used as a reliever/closer also in the WBC finals. We may see him pitch in 2024 post season. The Dodgers of course will be quite secretive about it.
@@methodz2850 lol a huge point of signing him and talking about the importance of having him on a winning team that is on a big stage is to Sho-case his dual threat ability which has made him a household name. Also. He's one of the biggest competitors in the league/world. No one who isn't that competitive defers 97% of his contract like he did the way he did esp after getting Peanuts with the Angels
@breadandcircuses8127 Pitchers try to throw strikes that look like balls to the batter and balls that look like strikes. People don't realize that they have off days and off command of pitches and think the hitters just didn't swing and miss at their pitches on a given day. It's actually rare for a pitcher to have everything working and have command of everything as well.
Just wondering if he can pitch to a sub 4 Era in MLB. If the Dodgers have Beuhler and Glasnow health all season they are going to rack up well over 100 wins
Actually he has a very good cutter. Pitching Ninja did a video breaking down Yamamoto’s 4 pitches using Statcast data from his starts in the WBC. His Statcast numbers show his curveball numbers are comparable to Kershaw’s curveball numbers; his splitter numbers are coparable to Ohtani’s splitter numbers; his cutter numbers are comparable to Corbin Burns’ cutter numbers. I recommend checking out Pitching Ninja’s video as he goes into good detail in breaking down Yamamoto’s pitches.
Lol All the Japanese pitchers that come over and have all these real faggy names for their pitches. Lol. It's the same as anything else we've seen before, it's not like they came from Mars and invented some new pitch
Npb ball has better grip allowing pitchers to better manipulate spin I don't see the mlb ball moving like that dodgers may have paid 325..375 million for a 4.00 era

I really dont see anything with him other pitchers in the U.S. cant do. I was a pro baseball pitcher and could throw these same pitches. I guess I gotta wait and see how he does against big league hitting. Ohtani is much more impressive than what I've seen with this guy. He must be very deceptive. Only thing I can picture.
@@V____396 Yamamoto got rocked in his debut start. That's pretty much what I was seeing was going to happen. 10.76 Era in Spring Training. I'll take a Dominican pitcher like the Astros have, any day over Yamamoto guy.
Apparently he can’t throw strikes. This guy will go down as being the worst contract in baseball history. That windup is hideous, he’s all arm..gonna be needing surgery in a couple years watch
His form is so good. Love the way he uses his lower half to generate most of his velocity.
So did the Padres last night.

Ohtani's is lethal. Lots of big league pitchers have great split finger pitches.
@@SupremeLeaderOfWyoming Yes. Lots. Doesn't mean they live off of it.
Wait till y’all see Roki Sasaki’s splitter in the MLB.
Different motions. Took me a couple times to catch it but I realized something was different right away. His arm slot and finish is much different.
Exceptional balance.
Those are 80 miles balls insane

That splitter looked more like a circle change
Japanese players always have the best splitters. I can watch ‘em all day long
It’s all about the spin
His splitter is damn near a screwball. You see it not only dropping drown, but also away or in to right handed hitters..
Cmon man!!! I be mad as fuck “ okay, it coming up the middle…. Where it go!!!”
Guys, a beast. Gonna terrorize batters. Dodgers are gonna be the team to watch.
So far, the batters have terrorized Yamamoto. This isn't the Japanese League!
This dude is about to break baseball
These comments are so ridiculous. Lol
Great movement, just don't swing if it starts out waist high.
Yamamoto got some sweet bell bottom slacks on his uniform!
His motion looks exactly the same for both pitches. That's got to be tough to deal with
February is around the corner
Dude what.
that splitter is gonna make a lot of hitters look dumb this season
LFG DODGERS!!!
it looks like he’s throwing 45 mph in this view lol
