LA Dodgers acquire ‘genius’ Ohtani Yamamoto, Japan's strongest pitcher, is also included.


Won 4 Japanese professional baseball championships for 3 consecutive years and traveled to the U.S. for 423.1 billion won over 12 years, a new MLB record for both period and amount

Should I try playing quarterback too? Shohei Ohtani (LA Dodgers, left) visits the American football field and tries to get his grip on the American football ball at the home stadium of the LA Rams of the National Football League (NFL) on the 22nd. What he is holding in his left arm is the number 17 uniform that he received as a gift from the Rams team that day. On the right is Otani's agent, Nezu Valero.

The LA Dodgers, who have Japan's 'baseball genius' Shohei Ohtani (29), also joined hands with Yoshinobu Yamamoto (25, photo), the best pitcher in Japanese professional baseball. ESPN, an American sports media outlet, reported on the 22nd, “The Dodgers agreed to sign a 12-year contract with Yamamoto worth $325 million (about 423.1 billion won).”

Previously, in the Major League Baseball (MLB) free agent (FA) market, a pitcher had never received so much money or been guaranteed a contract for such a long period of time. Previously, the highest was Gerrit Cole (33), who received $324 million when he signed with the New York Yankees in 2019, and the longest contract was Wayne Garland (73), who signed a 10-year contract with Cleveland in 1976.

Yamamoto set a new record for the best and longest contract ever among players who entered MLB through the posting (private competitive bidding) system. Previously, Masahiro Tanaka (35, Rakuten) signed a $155 million contract with the Yankees in 2014, and Kenta Maeda (35, Detroit) signed an 8-year contract with the Dodgers.

Yamamoto is a pitcher who has won four awards (multiple wins, earned run average, strikeouts, and winning percentage) for three consecutive years from 2021 to this year in the Japanese Professional Baseball Pacific League. He joined Orix in 2017 and played for 7 seasons, leaving a career record of 70 wins, 29 losses, and an ERA of 1.82. Not only his fastball but also his splitter reaches a maximum speed of over 150 km/h.

Ohtani's contribution to the Dodgers' recruitment of Yamamoto was not small. Otani, who signed a free agent contract with the Dodgers on the 10th, personally attended the club's first negotiation table with Yamamoto on the 13th and recommended him to join the team. Thanks to this, the Dodgers were able to win over rival teams such as the Yankees, who presented Yamamoto with a uniform.
