Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s Hollywood Hills home was the site of a burglary attempt on Wednesday, as reported by TMZ. The incident, which occurred around 4:30 a.m., was confirmed when police were called to the scene. Surveillance footage shows three individuals breaking into the residence, shattering glass doors and several windows. The investigation into the incident is ongoing, with the Los Angeles Police Department currently reviewing the details.
This incident comes nearly two years after other Los Angeles Dodgers players, including Freddie Freeman and Max Muncy, also had their homes targeted by burglars. The repeated nature of these incidents has sparked concerns within the baseball community, with many questioning the motives behind the attacks. While no suspects have been identified, the police are working closely with the Dodgers’ security team to determine the possible connection between the burglaries.
The Dodgers are currently based in Cincinnati for a series against the Reds, with Yamamoto recently pitching against the Reds at the Great American Ball Park. His performance in that game contributed to an improved record of 9-7 this season. Despite the recent security breach, Yamamoto remains focused on the team’s performance, and the Dodgers are preparing for their upcoming games against the Reds, hoping to maintain their competitive edge.
While the situation remains under investigation, the Dodgers are taking steps to ensure the safety of their players and staff. The club has stated that they are cooperating fully with law enforcement and will review any security measures that may need to be implemented to protect their players’ homes and personal safety. These incidents have not impacted the team’s performance on the field, and the Dodgers continue to be a dominant force in Major League Baseball this season.
