Dodgers star sparks dating rumors with Japanese model after World Series win

Dodgers pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto is in the middle of dating rumors following his World Series victory after being spotted with Japanese model Niki Niwa in California.

While walking the famous Rodeo Drive, Niwa and Yamamoto were spotted shopping together and standing nearby.

When Yamamoto and Niwa were approached by a Los Angeles photographer, they confirmed their identities.

Yamamoto came to America last year after signing a 12-year, $325 million contract with the Dodgers.

Niwa has more than 770,000 Instagram followers and starred in the television series β€œTerrace House: Aloha State.”

Yamamoto had an impressive debut season with the Dodgers, posting a 7-2 record and 105 strikeouts.

Niwa has been in a few other television projects and has been modeling for several years.

The hopeful couple are also the same age: Niwa, 28, and the World Series champion at 26, just two years apart.

Yamamoto had kept a low profile since moving to the United States, with no previous dating rumors. This look changes that with a model by his side.

The World Series champion also didn’t do much to hide the fact he was hanging out with Niwa.

It’s safe to say that, with Niwa by his side, it’s been a solid last few weeks for Yamamoto.
