Dodgers' Star Pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto Wins World Series MVP Award, and Manager Dave Roberts Calls Him the 'GOAT'
Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto has won the World Series MVP award for the second consecutive season. The 25-year-old Japanese ace dominated on the mound throughout the postseason, striking out over 30 batters in just four starts.
Manager Dave Roberts declared Yamamoto the "GOAT" of pitchers, praising his work ethic and ability to perform under pressure. "Yoshinobu is a special talent," Roberts said. "He's got that extra gear when it matters most. He's the real deal."
Yamamoto's impressive postseason was marked by several key performances, including a five-inning shutout in Game 2 of the World Series and eight strong innings in Game 4. The Dodgers' young pitcher has quickly become one of the most feared pitchers in baseball.
The Dodgers took home their seventh World Series title with a thrilling comeback victory over the Tampa Bay Rays in six games. Yamamoto's MVP award caps off an incredible postseason run for Los Angeles, who will look to build on their success next season.
Yamamoto's impressive performance has also sparked talk of him potentially being traded at the end of the offseason. While Roberts downplayed the rumors, saying that Yamamoto is a key piece of the team's future plans, it remains to be seen whether the Dodgers will be able to keep their star pitcher out of the hands of rival teams.
For now, though, Yamamoto basks in the glory of his World Series MVP award. The young pitcher has already cemented his place as one of the best in the game, and with a contract extension on the horizon, he's set to be a cornerstone of the Dodgers' rotation for years to come.

OMG I am literally so happy for Yoshinobu Yamamoto!!! He's honestly one of the most impressive pitchers I've ever seen! 30+ strikeouts in just four starts is insane 
And to see him get that MVP award for the second year in a row? 
It's like he's unstoppable on the mound! Dave Roberts calling him the GOAT is totally deserved, tbh 
Yamamoto's work ethic and ability to perform under pressure are truly inspiring. I'm so excited to see what he does next season! Can't wait to see him crush it again 
. It's not often you see a pitcher who can dominate like that, especially at such a young age. And let's be real, a contract extension? That just solidifies his commitment to LA for years to come 
. The question now is, will the Dodgers be able to keep him from getting snatched up by other teams in free agency? Only time will tell... but for now, Yamamoto's got us hyped! 
. And can we talk about his Japanese pride, giving a shoutout to his countrymen? 
. someone says he's the GOAT already? that's crazy talk! i mean, one good season doesn't make you the best, right? what's next? are they gonna give him a participation trophy for showing up to games on time? 
and what's with these contract extensions? can't they just let players leave if they wanna go somewhere else? seems like a bunch of nonsense to me... 
And for Dave Roberts to call him the GOAT? Like, for real? 
He's got this calm and collected demeanor that makes him almost unhittable 
And that work ethic? Forget about it! The dude puts in the extra reps and reaps the rewards 
What's next? A max contract extension, am I right? 
. It's like Dave Roberts wants us to think he's just a humble player who doesn't want to leave LA 
. I'm not buying it... or am I? 
, the kid's got game and he's still just 25, can't wait to see what he does next season! 
. Still, Yamamoto's got the skills and the confidence to stay put with the Dodgers, and I'm hyped to see him continue to dominate on the mound 
. The GOAT comment from Dave Roberts? 
I wouldn't rule it out, this kid's got the talent and the work ethic to back it up 
. Now let's get ready for next season and see what Yamamoto does! 
️
. I mean, yeah, he was pretty good in the World Series, but is that really enough to call him the best of all time? It seems like every other pitcher gets named a starter for the All-Star game, and now suddenly we're gonna crown some 25-year-old Japanese kid the GOAT? 
Get real, guys. He's had one great season, big whoop. Give it another few years before you start talking about him that way. And btw, have you seen the stats on the Rays' pitching staff? They didn't stand a chance against the Dodgers... but still, Yamamoto isn't that special 
and is unstoppable on the mound 
7th World Series title for the Dodgers, yay 
can't wait to see what next season brings 
. The fact that he can perform under pressure like this is not just about his abilities, but also about how he carries himself with humility and gratitude 
. Like, congrats to Yamamoto on winning the World Series MVP award, but does Dave Roberts have to go and declare him the all-time great? 
. I've been following him since he joined the Dodgers last season, and I gotta say, he's exceeded all expectations 
. He's got this calm, collected vibe that just makes you wanna watch more of him 
. And can we talk about his contract extension for a sec? I'm low-key hoping he stays with the Dodgers forever 
. TBH, I'd be so happy to see him break the MLB rookie record for most strikeouts in a season
