Jordan Yamamoto

Jordan Yamamoto is a name that gives Hawaii baseball fans a real point of pride, since the islands produce fewer big leaguers than you'd expect for how baseball-mad they are. His 2019 Marlins debut was a genuine feel-good story; winning his first handful of starts as a rookie out of nowhere is the stuff young pitchers dream about. The Saint Louis School pipeline that also gave us Kolten Wong clearly knows what it's doing. Injuries and command issues made it tough for him to stick at the top level, which is the cruel reality for so many arms, but that early flash showed the talent was legit.
