Roki Sasaki Impresses in First Dodgers Spring Training Session

News summary

Roki Sasaki, the highly anticipated 23-year-old pitcher, has begun his training with the Los Angeles Dodgers after a blockbuster signing from Japan's Chiba Lotte Marines. Sasaki's debut is drawing comparisons to fellow rookie Paul Skenes, with expectations for him to secure a spot in the Dodgers' elite pitching rotation. Despite his impressive past performances, including a perfect game in 2022, Sasaki faces challenges adjusting to Major League Baseball and American culture, though he has support from teammates Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto. His initial practice sessions have shown promise, with coaches noting improvements in his pitching consistency and command. Analysts rank Sasaki as the top prospect in baseball, and he is a frontrunner for the National League Rookie of the Year award. Sasaki is expected to make his MLB debut during the Tokyo Series next month, adding to the excitement surrounding his transition to the league.
