LA Dodgers manager Dave Roberts praised ace Blake Snell, who wrote the first history of the U.S. Major League Baseball postseason.
Snell started the first game of the National League Championship Series against the Milwaukee Brewers in the '2025 Major League Postseason" at American Family Field in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on the 14th (Korea time) and pitched a perfect pitch of 103 pitches, one hit, no four outs, and 10 strikeouts in eight innings. Thanks to this, the Dodgers won 2-1 and secured a 64.9% chance of advancing to the World Series.
Snell's main weapon that made Milwaukee hitters was a changeup. Snell threw a flawless pitch by mixing changeups (38), fastballs (28), curves (22), and sliders (15). The maximum speed of the fastball was 97.7 miles (about 157 kilometers), and the ball control of the breaking ball was very sophisticated. It was like a pitcher from the Cy Young Award.
Snell was listed as a pitcher with more than 10 strikeouts, one hit or fewer, and zero walks while pitching more than eight innings for the first time in postseason history.
Snell is also the first pitcher in postseason history to pitch more than two games, more than six innings and less than one hit in a single season. Snell started Game 2 of the National League Division Series against the Philadelphia Phillies on the 7th and recorded one hit, four walks, and nine strikeouts in six innings.
Snell is a pitcher with nine strikeouts or more and two hits or less in five postseason games, the most ever. Toronto Blue Jays veteran Max Scherzer, who has recorded three games, is second in all time.
Roberts said in a press conference after the game, "It was the best pitch I can remember against a very demanding team in the postseason. Change-ups dominated the game on the day, and his control was excellent. You probably haven't seen many of these performances in the postseason, especially in the postseason. It was really special," he praised Snell.

Roberts tried to end the game by raising closer Loki Sasaki in the ninth inning, but Sasaki allowed only one run in ⅔ innings. Blake Treinen was quickly put in to handle the remaining outcount, winning a one-point victory.
Roberts said it was a really difficult decision for me to replace Snell in the ninth inning, who showed off his great form. I had to think about the next game, and it was 50-50 as well. Sasaki was throwing a really good ball recently. It was a two-point lead, and I thought it would be nice if Sasaki went in" he said.
Although there was a crisis at the end, the Dodgers took a step closer to winning the World Series for the second consecutive year, enjoying the effect of recruiting Snell. In December last year, the Dodgers drew attention by signing a five-year total of $182 million (about 260.6 billion won) with the largest FA Arsenal. Although it was evaluated as the best left-hander in Major League history, there was also a crisis of 'eat and run' with only 11 regular season appearances this year in the aftermath of shoulder inflammation. Snell is proving that the Dodgers blew up the jackpot by doing his ace job well in the postseason.
