The Dodgers signed him to a 12-year, $325 million contract before the 2024 season – the largest contract ever given to a pitcher in baseball history at the time of signing. He arrived from Japan, where he had been one of the most dominant pitchers in NPB history, with the kind of arsenal that defined elite starting pitching: an elite fastball, breaking balls that generated swing-and-miss at rates that compared to the best in the sport, and an approach to pitching that translated immediately to the MLB stage. Los Angeles added him alongside Shohei Ohtani in the same offseason, assembling a roster with two of the most significant Japanese baseball players in history on the same team. The 2024 Topps Pristine Purple Refractor \/99 is the SGC 10 GEM MINT document of that first Dodgers season.
