Yet another famous professional athlete has had his home burglarized. This time, it's an All-Star member of the Los Angeles Dodgers.

According to TMZ Sports, the home of Dodgers star pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto was the target of a burglary attempt on Wednesday morning. Per the report, law enforcement said that three people were seen on a surveillance video shattering a glass door and several windows at his LA-area home.

TMZ reported that the thieves did not manage to break inside the home as they were forced to scatter after 9-1-1 was called. The suspects were reportedly "long gone" by the time that police finally arrived.

Yamamoto himself was away from his home. He has been with the Dodgers on a trip to Cincinnati to take on the Reds this week.

Yamamoto pitched for the team on Monday, recording a win, and the team won the second game against them last night.

TMZ projects that Yamamoto will next take to the mound against the Tampa Bay Rays this coming Sunday.

Yamamoto joined the Dodgers on an historic 12-year, $325 million contract on December 27, 2023 following a sensation career with Japan's Orix Buffaloes. During his time with the Buffaloes, Yamamoto won the Japan Series championship and was a five-time All-Star in the Nippon Baseball League. He won just about every accolade possible in the NPB and even helped Japan win the Summer Olympics and the World Baseball Classic before joining the Dodgers.

In year one with the Dodgers, he helped the team win the World Series, clobbering the New York Yankees for one of the best title wins in club history.
