One is Yoshinobu Yamamoto, the Dodgers&#8217; second-year Major League star pitcher, who will open the season as the starting pitcher.<\/p>\n<p>There was a lot of hype about Yamamoto entering the Major Leagues last season. Yamamoto followed that hype with a stellar rookie season for a World Series-winning team.
