[Complete loss of game…Yoshinobu Yamamoto, only one player left MLB record]Shohei Otani returns with knee pain and immediately returns with No. 14 | Roger Clemens & A. Rodriguez provide thorough explanation━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ On June 13, 2026 (14th Japan time), a match against the White Sox in Chicago. Yoshinobu Yamamoto of the Dodgers pitched a historic perfect game. A total of 45 players have been out since the last time he pitched. He was just one player away from Yusmeiro Petit’s MLB record of 46 players, but with two outs in the 8th inning, Betts made an unexpected error when he fumbled a ground ball. The dream of a perfect match ended here. Still, he continued his no-hitter, but he was hit with a solo home run in the top of the 9th inning, which also fell short. Following the game against the Orioles last September, another great record was wiped out right before our eyes. Meanwhile, Shohei Otani returned after missing the previous day due to knee inflammation. In the first inning, he hit a No. 14 solo into the right field stands with just two pitches, recording a home run for three consecutive games. He encouraged the team by playing despite the pain. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ▼ Highlights of guest commentary 🎙 Roger Clemens (7-time Cy Young Award winner, the most in history) “Yamamoto’s control is on a different level.His strike rate was 68%, and he was throwing with purpose to the toughest corners.In particular, his front door two-seam ball curves into the zone at the batter’s hand.You can tell by the expression on the batter’s face that he can’t hit that,” he said, praising him from a pitcher’s perspective. He also highly praised Yamamoto’s mental side, saying, “Yamamoto never showed any irritation towards Betts after the error.He doesn’t complain even when historic records are erased due to a teammate’s mistake.Shohei also shares this humanity.” 🎙 Alex Rodriguez (former major leaguer/played shortstop while active) “The pressure of a perfect game is on a completely different level than a no-hitter.The fielder prays that the ball won’t fly at him, but if it does come, he must catch it.As the seventh and eighth innings progress, his body becomes stiff and he can’t move his legs.Even a player of Betts’ caliber can’t play normally.That’s the difficulty of a perfect game,” he said from the perspective of someone with experience in extreme conditions on the defensive side. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ The previous day, in Otani’s absence, Sasaki Roki gave up 7 runs and lost. When Shohei returned, the atmosphere of the team changed completely, leading to Yamamoto’s historic pitch. Although he missed out on the record, it was a match that highlighted Yamamoto’s ability and humanity, as well as Otani’s presence. ■About the production policy for this video (Important) The videos on this channel are original content that focuses on audio commentary, structure, and discussion.
