During the 2025 Major League Baseball season, starting pitchers threw 29 complete games.

Saturday night in Toronto, Los Angeles Dodgers starter Yoshinobu Yamamoto pitched his second complete game in consecutive postseason starts.

"It's four or five pitches, and it feels like he could hit a flea with it," teammate Freddie Freeman said. "He can throw it wherever he wants. Sets up hitters. Understands hitters' swings. He's just incredible."

Yoshinobu is the first pitcher since Curt Schilling in 2001 to throw consecutive complete games in the postseason.
