After graduating from Major League Baseball in his native Japan, Yamamoto received offers from the San Francisco Giants and New York Yankees and signed a 12-year contract worth $27 million annually with the Dodgers.
Yamamoto is one of the top prospects on this side of the Pacific, winning the CY 2023 Youth Award (Eiji Sawamura Award) and named Pacific League MVP three times. He won the Triple Crown three times, meaning he held the best winning percentage, strikeouts and ERA in the entire league.
Yamamoto is the only player in professional baseball history to win three consecutive Triple Crowns and an exciting talent to join the MLB at just 25 years old.
