Shaikin: Yoshinobu Yamamoto's playoff dominance impresses everyone, especially Tarik Skubal

Yoshinobu Yamamoto delivered a stellar pitching performance for the Dodgers in Game 3 of the NLDS, striking out 10 batters and allowing just one run on four hits over seven innings to secure a 3-1 victory against the Atlanta Braves. His dominant postseason outing prompted high praise from teammate Tarik Skubal, who expressed initial surprise at being assigned the playoff opener instead of Yamamoto.

Skubal, a two-time Cy Young winner, highlighted Yamamoto's rigorous preparation and overall excellence. Meanwhile, Mookie Betts noted that Yamamoto's reliability is not limited to October but is a constant feature of his pitching year-round.
