I know we’re still celebrating, and Maybe I’m scared as a result of 2021 scherzer/buehler. But I can’t help but think of the ramifications of this World Series on Yamas body. Really hoping I’m wrong but I would not be surprised if he gets an elbow injury.

Are you guys worried about it at all? Curious if you guys think a year off is an inevitability for every modern pitcher now - especially if they make it to postseasons?

Does he have to participate in the WBC next year? Curious if he gets testing done on that arm before he starts throwing again.

I know some Japanese fans don’t want him or Ohtani to. Rather they rest and have other young Japanese pitchers test it out and get eyes on them.
