Yahoo Japan mentioned on the 22nd (Korean time) that more than 10 clubs had expressed their intention to recruit Yamamoto. More than 10 but less than 15 clubs.

In other words, nearly half of the clubs are aiming to recruit Yamamoto. Considering Yamamoto’s expected ransom, which is expected to be well over $200 million, many clubs have contacted him.

He also took a negative stance on Yamamoto’s preference for teams on the West Coast of the United States. The message is that climate will not play a big role in choosing a team.

Yamamoto’s posting began on the morning of the 21st and continues until the morning of January 5, 2024. A total of 45 days. The major league challenge of Japan’s best pitcher has begun.

Yamamoto, an orthodox right-handed pitcher, has already conquered Japanese professional baseball by winning four gold medals for three consecutive years and winning the Sawamura Award for three consecutive years. He also pitched two no-hitter games.

Yamamoto pitched 164 innings in 23 games this season, recording 16 wins, 6 losses, and an ERA of 1.21. 169 strikeouts. He won the Triple Crown as well as the winning percentage leader.

He throws a four-seam fastball that travels a whopping 160 km and a splitter that travels up to 150 km. In addition, he uses a slider, cut fastball, and even a curve.

In particular, the splitter’s 20-80 scale was evaluated at 70 points. This means that he is the top splitter in the major league. As a result, rumors of a $200 million contract continue to emerge.

His weakness is his relatively small body. Yamamoto is 178cm tall and weighs 80kg, which makes him very small compared to major league pitchers who are over 190cm tall.

Currently, Yamamoto’s destinations include the New York Mets and LA Dodgers. In particular, the LA Dodgers are trying to recruit Shohei Ohtani and Yamamoto at the same time.
