Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who set a new major league record beyond Gerrit Cole of the New York Yankees, was criticized for allowing five runs in three innings in the second exhibition game. However, the timing is strange. After the news that Ryu had a habit of pitching that he was exposed to in the first game, he collapsed in the next game.
Yamamoto started the 2024 Major League Baseball exhibition game against the Chicago Hua Art Sox at Camelback Ranch in Glendale, Arizona, on the 7th (Korea time) and allowed six hits, three walks, four strikeouts and five runs in three innings. In his first appearance against the Texas Rangers on the 29th of last month, he allowed one hit, three strikeouts and no run in two innings, but a week later, he collapsed like a completely different pitcher. Yamamoto’s ERA in exhibition games jumped from 0.00 to 9.00 per game.

Yamamoto lost a lot of points in the first inning. As a leadoff hitter in the bottom of the first inning with a 1-0 lead, Yamamoto faced a crisis by giving up a hit to the right field to Andrew Benintendi and a walk to Yoan Moncada. Home run batter Luis Robert Jr. blocked a fly ball to the right field, but allowed a walk to Eloy Jimenez, loading the bases. Andrew Vaughan blocked a sacrifice fly to center field, changing the count and the number of runs.
He failed to block additional runs with two outs. He had consecutive hits by Dominic Fletcher and Paul De Jong to make the score 1-3. De Jong even allowed a steal to the second base and caught Mass Stasi with a fly ball to the left field to end the inning. He faced a crisis with a walk and a stolen base with two outs in the second inning when the game was tying 3-3, but did not allow a run in the end.
