"Darvish, who played for the Dodgers in 2017, pitched in the same rotation as Yamamoto in the 2023 World Baseball Classic, and served as a source of guidance for the All-Star before coming to MLB. With the Dodgers, Darvish made nine starts, posting a 3.44 ERA. He pitched four times in the postseason that year, allowing 11 runs - 10 of which were earned - through 14.2 innings."
"Los Angeles Dodgers All-Star starting pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto is clearly still enjoying his offseason, having attended a dinner at Matsuhisa in Beverly Hills with translator Will Ireton and former Dodger Yu Darvish on Friday. At the dinner, Yamamoto received a special cake congratulating him on winning World Series MVP. After signing with the Dodgers following the 2023 season, Yamamoto revealed he went to Darvish for advice on where he should sign."
