Yoshinobu Yamamoto Joins the Dodgers

Yamamoto is only 25 years old. He is MVP of the Pacific League in the Nippon Professional Baseball League in Japan for three straight years. And now, Dodgers fans get to enjoy that talent in an out-of-this-world contract. The pitcher signed a 12-year, $325 million deal with the Dodgers. He will be joining fellow baseball teammate Shohei Ohtani again.

Ohtani himself made a historic contract with a $700 million contract over 10 years. This is historically the largest contract in sports history. But the Dodgers’ spending does not end there. They are also getting Tyler Glasnow in a trade, and are now signing him for five years, in a $135 million contract extension.

Yamamoto’s contract is the highest contract a pitcher has ever seen in the world of baseball, and is the largest deal give to a Japanese import. He has as good as a 1.72 ERA when he was in Japan. With the Orix Buffaloes, his ERA was 1.21. His fastball averages 95 mph, and can go as high as 99.
