Los Angeles Dodgers ace Blake Snell performed a ceremony of Son Heung-min (LFAC) signature Click.

Snell started Game 1 of the National League Championship Series against the Milwaukee Brewers in the 2025 Major League Postseason at American Family Field in Milwaukee on the 14th (Korea time).

Snell pitched eight innings with 10 strikeouts and no runs. The Dodgers won the game 2-1. He led the series with one win and no loss, preoccupying an advantage for the World Series.




Snell summoned Son Heung-min after the victory. He celebrated himself with a click ceremony on the Dodgers club's official SNS.

Snell says "Sonny, we think of you all the time. See you soon!."

Son Heung-min plays for LAFC, an MLS club in Los Angeles, the same region as the Dodgers. He was invited to throw the first pitch to the Dodgers game and made a connection. Snell and Son Heung-min use the same number 7.




Snell pitched eight innings with 103 pitches. He allowed only one hit. He has a 0.86 ERA with three wins and no losses in three postseason games this year. One game in each of the wild cards, division series and championship series gave the team victory.

Freddie Freeman of the Dodgers, who hit a home run on the day, said "I can't think of such a perfect pitch right away. Pitchers sometimes take an inning and two innings to find stability, and Snell was perfect from the start."

Dodgers star Mookie Betts also admired "It's hard to see such a scene."

According to the Major League Baseball's official website, Snell is the first pitcher in postseason history to pitch more than 8 innings and finish a game without 10 strikeouts or more and one hit or less without a walk.

He is also the first pitcher to play more than two innings of one hit or less in a single postseason.

In addition, the Dodgers recorded eight scoreless innings in the postseason for the first time since Clayton Kershaw in the second round of the National League wild card in 2020.

Snell adapted his pitching strategy based on his opponent's reaction. It seemed to react aggressively to certain pitch species. I think I can throw more fastballs in the next match."

Dodgers manager David Roberts praised the pitcher, saying, `It was the best pitch I can remember in the postseason.'
