Oh my god, the Dodgers are going to be so good this year.
The Los Angeles Dodgers have a deep roster, there's no doubt about that, but all egos also seem to have team chemistry, which is evident by which superstars Shohei Otani did.
Although he did not play in Wednesday's game, Ohtani 30 minute journey Through Phoenix to meet his teammate and counterpart, the Japanese phenom. Yoshinobu Yamamoto Makes MLB debut. Yes, it may be spring training, but it will show the hype surrounding this player. (Related: Shohei Ohtani hits Oppo Taco Bomb in Dodgers debut)
And Ohtani's drive ended up making every minute worth it.
The Dodgers were playing the defending World Series champion Texas Rangers, and Yamamoto pitched two innings in that game. And he certainly made the most of his opportunity, striking out three batters in that short span of time and posting a dominant performance that day.
Yeah, like I said, he might be in spring training right now, but it's clear this kid is going to be a star.

Yeah, I thought the Los Angeles Dodgers were horrible when the Atlanta Braves played (and beat) them in the 2021 NLCS, but hell no…what if the same thing happened in 2024? I can only imagine the fear I would have.
Don't get me wrong, the Atlanta Braves are loaded with talent, but will they be facing a Los Angeles Dodgers team that is already loaded with Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto on the roster?
Yeah, that would be scary. I'm not even going to lie.
