Yoshinobu Yamamoto was one of the most coveted players in baseball this last offseason. Coming to the United States from Japan, where he pitched to a sub-two ERA for the Orix Buffaloes of the Nippon Professional Baseball league, the 25-year-old had interest from several teams, including the New York Yankees, Toronto Blue Jays, Boston Red Sox, Philadelphia Phillies, and Los Angeles Dodgers.

Of course, the Dodgers won the bidding war, as they do with so many players, signing Yamamoto to a 12-year contract and adding him to new additions list that already included Tyler Glasnow and baseball’s most popular player, Shohei Ohtani. Now, with the season kicked off, Yamamoto made his highly anticipated major league debut. However, players who hoped to play out the monumental occasion in the virtual world before the actual game were unable to do so.

Thankfully, MLB The Show 24‘s first roster update after Yamamoto’s first start included the addition of the pitcher. He’s now available to use in modes such as co-op and Diamond Dynasty, where he is currently a 79-overall Silver card. Of course, if Yamamoto bounces back from his rough first outing and becomes the pitcher the Dodgers think he can be, he can quickly become a Gold and work his way up to Diamond. 

And that’s whether Yoshinobu Yamamoto is in MLB The Show 24.

MLB The Show 24 is available on Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch.
