Yoshinobu Yamamoto

Yamamoto took a different approach with his fastball and found his groove: "This was probably the best I’ve seen him."

After a rough debut, Yamamoto has impressed the Dodgers with his moxie, composure and pitching arsenal.

Saturday's performance by Yamamoto was a reminder why the Dodgers believed in him before he even threw a big-league pitch.

Interviews with more than two dozen executives and players, plus a famous singer, unveiled the drama behind the Dodgers’ spending spree.

Yamamato's trademark command was nowhere to be found as he surrendered five runs and was gone by the second inning.

Yamamoto's success hinges on the training methods that have captured the attention of Dodgers camp.

The two games will be the first MLB regular-season contests played in South Korea.

Yamamoto’s grips were visible on the broadcast’s center-field camera, spurring public buzz about whether hitters would know what's coming.

Manager Dave Roberts said Yamamoto's combination of velocity and command remind him of a young Zack Greinke.

Some of the Dodgers' best hitters got to face the Japanese star for the first time. They came away very impressed.

As they begin this spring with high expectations, the Phillies have reached a point in their cycle where they can't just outspend everyone.

The Dodgers are paying Yamamoto to be an ace, so they’re watching over him like one.

Yamamoto has a chance to be the player the Dodgers needed as they broke through in the splashiest winter in recent baseball history.

The Yankees offered the Japanese free-agent pitcher a higher annual average value than the Dodgers.

Do they pivot to a lesser free agent starting pitcher, go the trade route, or turn in a different direction entirely?

Even though they failed to get him, the methods and details behind the way the Mets went after Yamamoto offer some glimmers of hope.

Yoshinobu Yamamoto's payday with the Dodgers could have an impact on the likes of Blake Snell, and Marcus Stroman.

Here’s a rundown of MLB starters from Japan, with the money they commanded upon arrival.
