⚾ Graded 2023 Topps Now Yoshinobu Yamamoto #WBCJPN11 WBC Champions Team Rookie RC Baseball Card PSA 10 Gem Mint – The PSA 10 Gem Mint Certified 2023 Topps Now WBC Champions Team Rookie Card of Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Los Angeles Dodgers Pitcher, Three-Time Consecutive Sawamura Award Winner in Japan, 2023 World Baseball Classic Champion, and the Most Dominant Starting Pitcher Produced by Japanese Professional Baseball in the Modern Era

⚾ Yoshinobu Yamamoto grew up in Japan and built his professional career with the Orix Buffaloes in Nippon Professional Baseball, where he produced six seasons of statistics that placed him in a category by himself among active starting pitchers on the planet. He won the Sawamura Award – Japan's highest honor for a starting pitcher, equivalent in prestige to the American Cy Young – in three consecutive seasons from 2021 through 2023, an achievement no pitcher had accomplished in NPB history. His career NPB ERA was 1.82. Numbers at that level, sustained across six seasons, describe a pitcher operating at a remove from normal human performance.

⚾ The 2023 World Baseball Classic brought together the best players from every baseball-playing nation, and Japan's roster included both Yamamoto and Shohei Ohtani – two of the most talented players the country had ever produced on the same team, playing for their country in the most significant international baseball competition in the world. Japan defeated the United States in the championship game on March 21, 2023, a result that confirmed what the rest of the international baseball world had been watching in NPB for years. Card #WBCJPN11 in the 2023 Topps Now WBC Champions Team set places Yamamoto in the commemorative issue Topps produced for the championship roster. The Dodgers signed him in December 2023 for 12 years and $325 million – the largest contract ever given to a pitcher at that point in baseball history. PSA 10 Gem Mint confirms this card as perfect. Condition: NOS.
