Yamamoto became the first Japanese to complete the Major League postseason. Yamamoto's Dodgers senior Ryu Hyun-jin (currently Hanwha) has recorded seven scoreless innings twice in the postseason.
Yamamoto started Game 2 of the National League Championship Series against the Milwaukee Brewers in the 2025 Major League Postseason at American Family Field in Milwaukee on the 15th (Korea time) and allowed one run in nine innings.
The Dodgers won the game 5-1. Won both the first and second away games. He headed to his home L.A. with two wins in the series.
Yamamoto did it all. Yamamoto pitched 111 pitches. There are only three hits. While giving up one walk, he struck out seven.
Milwaukee manager Patrick Murphy, who faced Yamamoto, was also speechless. After being tied up by Blake Snell in eight scoreless innings in the first game, he was hit with a KO punch by Yamamoto.
According to Japan's Daily Sports, Murphy said "Both Snell and Yamamoto were excellent. The two players showed great dominance so far. Our team doesn't swing and miss well, but it came out a lot this time. Our bad part was revealed in their pitches," he said, neatly admitting to his defeat.
Then "Yamamoto's splitter looks like a fastball. It comes from the same orbit and the form is exactly the same. There are few real throws. The batter falls at the moment he thinks it's a fastball. Because of the effect, fastballs appear to rise on the contrary. It's really great," he said, praising his mouth dry.

Roberts said, `I see real confidence. The batting order entered the third lap and did not lose confidence even if the number of pitches exceeded 90. I felt that the fastball selection was the best. Tonight was all perfect control."
According to MLB.COM, the official Major League website, Yamamoto became the first Japanese to complete the Major League postseason. It is also the first postseason complete victory since Justin Verlander of the 2017 American League Championship Series.
It has been 21 years since Jose Lima, who won a shutout against the St. Louis Cardinals in the 2004 National League Championship Series.
Yamamoto went 12-8 with a 2.49 ERA in 173 ⅔ innings in 30 pennant races this year. Yamamoto is set for the 2024 seasonIt signed a 12-year, $325 million (about 462.6 billion won) mega contract with Jus. The ransom is being paid properly.
