After adding the consensus best arm on the market in designated hitter and pitcher Shohei Ohtani, the Los Angeles Dodgers have reportedly struck gold again.
Los Angeles has agreed to sign Japanese star pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto to a 12-year contract worth $325 million, according to reports from Jack Curry of YES Network and ESPN’s Jeff Passan on Thursday.
Yamamoto, 25, logged a 70–29 record, 1.82 ERA and 922 strikeouts across seven seasons in Nippon Professional Baseball. He notched a 1.16 ERA and 176 strikeouts in 171 innings for the Orix Buffaloes last season.
