Yamamoto's name, who led the team to victory with a tremendous performance in the World Series, stands out. This makes Yamamoto the first Dodgers pitcher to be a finalist for the Cy Young Award since the 2022 season.

Yamamoto was 12-8 in 30 regular-season games and overwhelmed with a 2.49 ERA and a 0.99 WHIP (on-base allowed per inning) in 173 ⅔ innings, a 0.183 hit rate and a 0.543 POPS.




His strikeout rate reached 29%, while his walk allowance was only 7.1%, and his induction rate of ground balls with his main weapon, the splitter, was very high. He also recorded 201 strikeouts, becoming the first Dodgers pitcher to exceed 200 strikeouts in the regular season since Walker Buehler in 2021.
