Yamamoto’s no-hitter marked the 100th in the league’s history, and it allowed him to achieve the prestigious pitching achievement in consecutive seasons — with the 25-year-old’s other no-hitter occurring in June 2022 against the Seibu Lions. Yamamoto got the final out Saturday by forcing a groundout to the Buffaloes’ second baseman, and his Orix teammates sprinted out of the dugout and soaked him with water as the celebration began.
“From the time I stepped on the mound in the ninth inning, there was a lot of cheering, so it felt good pitching,” Yamamoto said.Screengrab via Twitter/@yakyucosmo In a start near the end of August, Yamamoto had at least 10 MLB teams in attendance to watch his start, including the Yankees, Mets, Red Sox, Dodgers, Cubs, Cardinals, Diamondbacks, Rangers, Phillies and Tigers,Yamamoto also went 1-0 across two appearances with Japan en route to their World Baseball Classic title in February, allowing two runs on four hits across 7 ⅓ innings while striking out 12 batters.Then, Yamamoto continued his success with the NPB.
