When Yoshinobu Yamamoto makes his All-Star Game red carpet debut Tuesday, stylist Whitney Etoroma expects the Dodgers' pitcher to shine just as much as he does on the mound.
"I think it will be a moment," she told The Associated Press.
The pair are making a final decision on what he'll wear, but Etoroma is pushing for a Thom Browne runway look that will "push the envelope."
As part of a program created in 2019, MLB provided stylists for the red carpet to Yamamoto, Seattle catcher Cal Raleigh, Detroit pitcher Tarik Skubal and Cubs' outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong as baseball aims to raise its fashion profile and highlight the style of some of its biggest stars.
Yamamoto won't pitch in the All-Star Game after throwing seven scoreless innings for the Dodgers on Sunday but will participate in the festivities leading up to it. He's in his second season in the majors after signing a 12-year, 325 million contract following a seven-year career with the Orix Buffaloes in Japan.
