2026 Projections
2026 Fantasy Outlook
Yamamoto, in his second season stateside, shaved half a run off his ERA, finishing fourth among qualified starters with a 2.49 mark, while nearly doubling his regular-season workload from 90 to 173.2 innings. His 0.99 WHIP, meanwhile, ranked sixth among qualifiers, as he allowed just 113 hits and 59 walks compared to 201 strikeouts. The 27-year-old really shined during the Dodgers' postseason run with a 1.45 ERA and two complete games, including the first complete game in the World Series since 2015, even earning World Series MVP honors. Also a Cy Young finalist in the National League, Yamamoto held opponents under .200 on all three of his top offerings: the four-seamer, splitter and curveball. The split-finger pitch in particular was a standout, and his breakout on the game's biggest stage has thrust Yamamoto firmly into the top five among starting pitchers for 2026 drafts. There is the question of whether he can repeat the workload, and the walks are a tad high for an ace, but nonetheless he projects extremely favorably with the potential to add to his wins total.
