Los Angeles Dodgers star pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto may be the reigning World Series MVP, but some are saying he’s found a way to get even better this offseason.

Speaking with the Foul Territory show, Jack Harris of the California Post said Yamamoto has come back healthy, even after a huge workload during the season and, especially, the playoffs and World Series.

Yamamoto famously pitched in Games 6 and 7 of the Fall Classic, helping the Dodgers to a come-from-behind series win and earning that MVP award in the process.
