About this episode
Yoshinobu Yamamoto cements his status as the Los Angeles Dodgers’ ace, earning the coveted Opening Day start after his postseason heroics.
Harry Ruiz and Travis Rodgers spotlight Yamamoto’s dominance, from consecutive World Series gems to his reliability in a Dodgers rotation featuring Tyler Glasnow, Blake Snell, and Shohei Ohtani. The duo explores why Yamamoto stands out in a lineup stacked with talent—and whether he could be on track for a Cy Young run.
Shohei Ohtani’s unexpected return from the World Baseball Classic shakes up pitching plans, with Dave Roberts hinting at an accelerated timeline. The hosts debate Ohtani’s ramp-up, bullpen usage, and long-term health. The show also tackles Kyle Tucker’s massive contract, weighing listener concerns about value and risk against the Dodgers’ knack for building relentless, superstar-driven lineups. Are the Dodgers pushing the right buttons for a three-peat, or is a big gamble brewing in Los Angeles? All that and more on today’s episode of Locked On Dodgers!
