History

Background

Fletcher Yamamoto is a small bird native to the Sovereign Nation of Hawai'i. Yamamoto joined the team when he caught a fly ball while observing the game from center field.

Yamamoto's favorite base is third base and he will often attempt to steal it, even if the situation doesn't call for it. When asked why he loves that particular base so much, he repeatedly scrawled the word "shiny" in the infield dirt. It is unclear what he was referring to.

Season 8 Fridays Captain

After Elijah Valenzuela's trade to the Breckenridge Jazz Hands, Fletcher Yamamoto stepped up to become the Fridays team captain as one of the remaining players on the team since season 1, and also as the current lead off hitter. The decision was more or less unanimous among both teammates and fans, who all shouted "Bird captain!" in unison. After receiving the captain's hat, Yamamoto was quoted with, "[tweet] yeah, you mess with the nest, [tweet] die like the rest."

Joining the San Francisco Lovers

Early in Season 12, Yellowstone Magic pitcher Yeong-Ho Garcia arrived at the San Francisco Lovers via Feedback. Inspired by their new team's Charm ability, Garcia attempted the maneuver themself. Garcia, being a new addition to the team, had no ability whatsoever to perform a Charm; however, their eagerness to do so, combined with their well-established affinity for birds, resulted in them accidentally recruiting Yamamoto to the team. (The Lovers' adopted void NaN transferred to the Fridays in his place, as they were "ready to leave the nest.")

The Lovers expressed deep regret at their accidental recruitment of the Fridays' captain, promising to make him as comfortable as possible in San Francisco. Helga Burton and/or Moreno was quoted as saying, "I mean, we, like, just built an aviary. The little guy can totally stay in it if he wants." The Lovers also encouraged Yamamoto to retain his title of Captain; although no captaincies were available on the actual blaseball team, he was appointed Bird Captain of the Lovers' Court.

The circumstances of their friendship notwithstanding, Yamamoto and Garcia did, in fact, form a close bond as the two newest members of the Lovers. The two of them are also reportedly friendly with pitcher and former land of Montgomery County Bontgomery "Bonty" Mullock, who is known to be popular with birds as he is literally a tree person. Yamamoto can often be seen nesting in Mullock's branches, while Garcia prefers to lean against his trunk.
