LAD World Series Winning Contribution Who is No. 1? Ohtani vs. Yamamoto PS Best Performer 20 Selected
|
MLB Network prepared a corner titled "2025 Postseason Best Performance 20" on the 8th (Korea time) and selected 20 people who led the team to victory or made history in this year's 47 fall baseball games held from October 1 to November 2 and posted the video.
First place is Yamamoto Yoshinobu, who led the Dodgers to the World Series championship and was named the series MVP.
Yamamoto was 5-1 with a 1.45 ERA and a 0.78 WHIP in 37 ⅓ innings in six games, including one relief appearance in the postseason. In the World Series against the Toronto Blue Jays, he pitched 17 ⅔ innings in three appearances and was recognized as the best player in the series with three wins, 1.02 ERA and 15 strikeouts.
All three games were stellar pitching. In the second game, he won the series with four hits, eight strikeouts, and one run in nine innings, and in the sixth game, he gave up five hits, six strikeouts, and one run in six innings, leading the series to a 3-3 balance with a quality start. In the final seventh game, he took the lead in relief at the bottom of the ninth inning with one out and runners on the first and second bases, allowed no runs even after being loaded with the bases, and then blocked 10 to 11 extra innings, becoming a winning pitcher with one hit and no runs in two ⅔ innings.
He also became the first pitcher in the history of the World Series to win all three games on the road.

The most impressive game is Game 4 of the NLCS against the Milwaukee Brewers. He played as a leadoff pitcher and showed the essence of both pitching and hitting, marking the first achievement in history. As a starter, he hit two hits, 10 strikeouts and no runs in six innings, and three home runs as a batter, leading the team to a 5-1 victory. Ohtani is the first player in Major League history to strike out 10 as a pitcher and hit three home runs as a batter in one game, including the regular season.

The Dodgers' biggest weakness this season was the bullpen. As Tanner Scott, Kirby Yates, Alex Besia, and Blake Trinen failed to shake off anxiety even before the postseason, manager Dave Roberts gave Sasaki a full-fledged finish. For this reason, there were predictions that Sasaki might throw the final round next year, but both he and the Dodgers officially declared that they would join the rotation by preparing to return to the starting lineup in the spring training.
