Roki Sasaki
With all disdain for anointing players too young, this youngster in 85 innings this year in Japan has 124 Ks, only 14 walks, and an ERA of 1.48. He pitched a perfect game and then was perfect through 8 in the next game. I heard an interview about him on NPR and (grain of salt) veteran observers were saying he is very very special. It will be interesting to see what becomes of him. Apparently he is used relatively sparingly in a conscious effort to protect his arm.
